I won't complain if my name ends up in the PM recipient list too .

Sorry to hear this, hope things get better for everyone at API.

I was a subscribe and reader, you guys have done a great work.

 

Sad to hear this!

I hate it when the-powers-that-be do this **** at Christmas - always seems very "scrooge" to me.

As a n00b I was just getting into API and looking forward to a subscription for Christmas!

Hope you guys pop up somewhere else bigger,better, stronger.

 

Disappointing to hear such news around Christmas time. Lucky I've got some investment books arriving soon!

 

Very sad news guys -Our hearts go out to all the employees and owners !My favourite mag and i have subscribed for many many years!

I thought that they got most of their stories for nothing(no charge due to people being excited to be famous in the magazine?)!Or am i wrong?
Plus all the adds from property companies?!!
Is it possible the business was running too high overheads?

 

So sorry to hear Kieran. I had subscribed for many years and really enjoyed reading it over breakfast on weekends. Also very happy to have appeared in the investor profile a few months back. Wishing you and all the team the very best for the future.

 

The website and its calculators and back article cat would be a nice add to PC. The value of their database even more. Advertisers + subscribers worth a lot more for online than a printed issue. I doubt they can "sell" it other than as a going concern and likely contenders are Domain etc. Its worth what you offer. Make them a offer. Its worth Nil to a former publisher.

 

A journalist friend at API is now out of work, just bought a doozy of a PPOR so hopefully OK.

Just back from a conference where many mining town colleagues are also shedding staff.

Start a blog daisy?

 

Holy cow - didn't see this coming, API in my opinion is the best property publication out there (I'm a subscriber).

I can't believe this - devastated..

 

Best of luck Kieran.

 

No one saw it coming, the mag was delivered with a gift subscription suggestion......yeah, thanks a lot if you get that for Christmas

It was obviously kept quiet.

 

It is a real shame.
I was really looking forward to the big 200th edition next year too.

 

This is an interesting report by John Oliver on the importance of print media:

 

Wow. Very sad. I was literally reading the latest mag just before logging on - it arrived today.

Hope you and your families get what you need to bridge to the next job.

I am assuming the company is liquid enough to pay out some redundancies.

 

I just bought my first copy today.. bought it for the database in the back and really enjoyed reading the little success stories, pretty motivational for a noob like me.

Goodluck

 

This is terrible news.

As a reader for the last couple of years I really like the change Kieran and the team has made lately and finding the content interesting and informative. It's really a shame to see it go...

Thank you Kieran and the API team for all your efforts to date and good luck with all of your future endeavours!

 

it's a shock news to me as well. subscribed for 3+ years now and basically read every articles to get me educated a bit more... use the digital database a lot to get reference for the suburbs I am interested.
all the best for the employees...

 

Sad news. Luckily I kept every edition for the last 7 years!

 

Online version was so so terribly painful to use/read.

If they couldn't get the digital version right, the paper version didn't stand a chance given how other printed press has gone in the past 5-7 years..
