Wal-Mart Hearts D Magazine

An alert FrontBurnervian points us to news that Wal-Mart, which is responsible for about 20 percent of all retail magazine sales in the United States, is kicking about 1,000 titles out of its stores. That same FBvian asked if that list of magazine titles included D Magazine. It does not. The genius that is Thad Stammen, our circulation director, tells me that, in fact, Wal-Mart has asked us to step up our circulation in 88 of its local stores, because D sells so well there. Must be Marty Cortland.
