No Depression, the bimonthly magazine covering a broad range of American roots music since 1995, will bring to an end its print publication with its 75th issue in May-June 2008. The continued decline of the record industry and the reduction of advertising sales are some of the contributers to the publication’s decision to shift their focus to their Web site, according to a press release.  The magazine will continue to expand its online product and will be collaborating with the University of Texas Press to publish a semi-annual “bookazine.”
