SAI: Michael Jackson’s Death Saves Magazines

Quite a headline from Silicon Alley Insider. From the story:
“Michael Jackson tributes and book-a-zines have generated $55 million in additional newsstand sales for magazine publishers, providing one bright spot, however somber, amid widespread newsstand declines so far this year.
“‘Based on our estimates, we’re at about almost $67 million in Michael Jackson product,’ said Gil Brechtel, president-CEO of the Magazine Information Network, often called MagNet, which tracks data from wholesalers and retailers.”
