AIUI, the price of subscriptions for a mag only just covers the 
printing/distribution costs. The profit comes from advertising.

So the question you should really be asking is - can you find enough 
advertisers to make it worth printing a new magazine ?

A guy I know wanted to start a new Linux mag. in Danish - it would have 
been the only native language Linux mag, but he had to give up after not 
finding sufficient advertisers.
