Because I'm Old, I grew up having the daily newspaper delivered, and multiple magazines in my home, including Time and Ms. As I grew up, I subscribed to my own magazines, including Seventeen, Mademoiselle and Glamour, along with EW and Premiere and People in the mix.
I tried really hard to get my kids (20 and 22) into magazines, my daughter had American Girl and they shared Zoobooks. And that was the end of it. I offered various titles throughout the years, and even tried Sports Illustrated for my son, but they never took to the habit of a daily or monthly read (my daughter was a book reader, my son only for school).
Magazines and newspapers will die off when we do, because Gen Z is just not interested. I do the Mom Thing of cutting out articles when they are home, or screenshotting links when they are not. They humor me, but they are minimally interested. My sister in law wanted to get them online subscriptions to a newspaper and I told her they wouldn't use it. She asked them and they said no thanks. My hope is as they mature they'll pick a real news source and follow them online, it's better than nothing.
