In a post this morning on its Facebook page, Show Me the Ozarks Magazine announced that it is shutting down its print edition.
The magazine will now be digital, according to the announcement.
This isn't an easy message to write, but it's one filled with gratitude.After a lot of reflection, we're turning the page from print to fully digital. Saying goodbye to our physical magazine is emotional, but this change comes with a deep appreciation for how far we've come and excitement for where we're headed.
Going digital allows us to keep telling stories and connecting in new ways. We hope you'll continue this journey with us as we grow, evolve and embrace what's next.
Thank you to all of our readers, sponsors, advertisers and to everyone else who has supported all of us at ShowMe The Ozarks along the way. You made this magazine more than just ink and paper; you made it a community and something that we'll always be proud of.

While I understand that printing and distribution costs are enormous, I fear that this move will mean the death of Show Me the Ozarks Magazine. I always enjoyed picking up copies in bank lobbies and waiting rooms. It was a fun magazine to flip through. Now, I'm afraid that the magazine will lose its visibility. "Out of sight, out of mind" may be its downfall. It's also going to be difficult to persuade businesses to advertise strictly online. I hope I'm wrong.
Yes, in our Digital Society the Production, Printing, and Distribution Costs of a Physical Magazine or Paper are enormous. If they push their online presence and can tap that market vigorously, they can still stay relevant and in business.
A sign of the times, we are not setting at home reading the print version of The Turner Report
