Fair enough. But just playing Devil's Advocate, allow me to say that many of those publications that meet the above professional criteria are also...
And I also don't mean to derail the thread. My feeling is that the fruits of the DIY ethic is what is going to going survive in the print world...

Tonight's broadcast of the Marc Germain show is a minor p.r. coup for a drag racer. L.A. listeners may remember Germain by his sundry nom de...
A similar audio interview by Garlits was given here, albeit with a different punchline.......
Be careful what you wish for....
Danica Patrick: High maintenance, low yield. cf. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=njvm1K64ZsE She had definitely jumped the shark.
