''Paste'' is a monthly music and entertainment digital magazine published in the United States by Wolfgang's Vault. Its tagline is "Signs of Life in Music, Film and Culture."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Signs of Life in Music, Film and Culture )〕 It ran as a print publication from 2002 to 2010 before converting to online-only. ==History== The magazine, headquartered in Avondale Estates, Georgia, was founded as a quarterly in July 2002 by Josh Jackson, Nick Purdy, and Tim Porter. It later switched to a bimonthly format. In 2005, ''Paste'' fulfilled remaining subscriptions for the competing magazine ''Tracks'', which had ceased publishing its print edition. ''Paste'' became a monthly with its August 2006 issue. For two years in the mid-2000s, ''Paste'' had a weekly segment on ''CNN Headline News'' called "Paste Picks", wherein editors would recommend new albums and films every Tuesday. In October 2007, the magazine tried the "Radiohead" experiment, offering new and current subscribers the ability to pay what they wanted for a one-year subscription to ''Paste''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Following Radiohead, Paste to Let Subscribers Name Their Own Price )〕 The subscriber base increased by 28,000, but ''Paste'' president Tim Regan-Porter noted the model was not sustainable; he hoped the new subscribers would renew the following year at the current rates, and the increase in web traffic would attract additional subscribers and advertisers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paste President: Radiohead Experiment 'A Huge Success' )〕 Amidst an economic downturn, ''Paste'' began to suffer from lagging ad revenue, as did other magazine publishers in 2008 and 2009. On May 14, 2009, ''Paste'' editors announced a plan to save the magazine, by pleading to its readers, musicians and celebrities for contributions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paste Launches Campaign to Save its Magazine )〕 Cost-cutting by the magazine did not stem the losses. The main crux cited for the financial troubles is the lack of advertiser spending.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Campaign to Save Paste )〕 In 2009, ''Paste'' launched an hour-long TV pilot for Halogen TV called ''Pop Goes the Culture''. On August 31, 2010, ''Paste'' suspended the print magazine, but continues publication as the online PasteMagazine.com. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paste (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
