TradePub.com also has a Multimedia Design section with a few other free subscription magazines at

All about marketing, my friend. With such a specialized target market, selling subscriptions isn't going to make a lot of money. On the other hand, from an advertiser's perspective, it's a highly targeted audience. Folks like Discreet, Alias, Macromedia, etc. will pay a little more to place ads because not only are they guaranteed to hit their core consumer base, but they're getting a wider reach within that base because the magazine is free.
