SPECIAL SURVEY REPORT [caption id="attachment_139065" align="alignright" width="300"] SPONSORED BY:[/caption] One might expect recent layoffs, consolidations, frequency reductions, and closures in magazine media would have the industry feeling gloomy about its future, but a new survey of Folio: readers shows the opposite.
