Yes I did. But I got a canned response that had nothing to do with my question.
I am only harping on this because I'm interested to know why some people like me got a form letter and others got a call back. There are several categories you can choose, I picked 'other' because there was no SkyClub option. I just want to know what others did differently.

"Many of our guests are telling us that they get their news on their portable devices. Due to that preference and as a part of our sustainability efforts, we are no longer offering most newspapers and magazines in our clubs or on flights effective January 1."

While it is understandable print copies is likely going away now or in the future, I would expect SC to at least provide a digital copies via Skyclub login webpage, as more and more digital news providers are requiring subscription. To me, it is probably the most prudent request....

This is partly why I always try to use every service or take every amenity offered by an airline or hotel. If the hotel has slippers, I take the slippers. If the airline lounge or hotel has newspapers and/or magazines, I take them. I don't want some bean counter saying, "Well, X percentage of guests never use this service or amenity so we can eliminate it."
