The problem that print publications have is the internet, news happens too quickly for daily/weekly/monthly print versions.
Why buy Autosport/Motorsport News to read news articles that are rehashed versions of the website.
The in-depth articles are too based around F1, are usually focused on one obliging team and end up as a PR piece for that team, with little of interest to the reader. The authors of the articles are hardly well known journalists with a long cv and years of experience (Nigel Roebuck & Matt James being the exceptions).
Like I have said before, I won't be surprised to see Motorsport News close at the end of this year, and Autosport go to an online only edition. My local newsagent doesn't stock MN any longer and only has a copy of Autosport saved for a customer.
