杂志发行状况堪忧 2009-02-04
包括《幻想与科幻》及《轨迹》在内的一些杂志正面临着发行上的问题。最近，编辑戈登•范•格尔德在其博客中写道：“目前，杂志发行行业正发生着众多剧变，这些剧变尤其将影响到《幻想与科幻》，堆放在安德森新闻公司或Source Interlink公司中的样刊也许不会立刻付诸发行。”
这两大发行公司为旗下发行的所有杂志设立了每本７美分的额外附加费用。发行商被要求在２月１号前付清这一款项，但是许多发行商不能承担这一额外花费，而其他一些发行商则原则性地拒付——这其中包括旗下拥有《人物》、《体育博览》及其他畅销出版物的美国最大杂志发行商时代华纳公司。
在美国，Source Interlink公司和安德森新闻公司负责全国大概一半的杂志零售发行，除非候补计划被制定出来，否则许多杂志的营销发行很可能会是不稳定的。

Many magazines, including F&SF and Locus, are facing distribution problems. Editor Gordon Van Gelder recently posted on his blog that "There are upheavals going through the magazine distribution business right now and they’re going to affect F&SF. Specifically, copies that were distributed through Anderson News Corp. or Source Interlink might not be distributed right now."
Those two distributors have instituted a 7-cent per copy surcharge for all the magazines they distribute. Publishers were given until February 1st to comply, but many can't afford the additional cost, and others are refusing on principle -- including the largest magazine publisher in the country, Time Inc., which produces People, Sports Illustrated, and other major publications.
Source Interlink and Anderson news are responsible for about half the retail magazine sales in the US, and distribution for many magazines is likely to be spotty until alternate arrangements can be made.
