Only covering a small family of small blocks isn't anything to base a monthly on.

not to mention that online publications are cheaper & easier to maintain. They still charge for the ad space they sell on their websites just the same as they sell ad space in their printed media. Only difference is its easier to cater to a niche small crowd and still be cost effective. Especially since they wont have to send out a monthly rag chock full of ads that barely pay for the paper and mailing fees.
tldr = websites offer little overhead & larger ad space profit margins than magazines anymore.
