Slow Company

It shouldn't be such as suprise that a mag like Fast Company is thin these days. The ad business is in a horrific slump after a long, silly and very inebriating party called the 1990s. Much like inventory sitting on tech company shelves, ad space is lying fallow because companies are scared to spend on *anything* as long as they have to explain every dime to Wall Street.

Short version: When profits rebound, so will ads, but not likely to the degree they were in, say, 1997.

Shorter still: Give Wall Street good news, and ad spending becomes a rounding error again.
