I get both, but Skeptical Inquirer has taken more of a focus which has no equivalent in the literature, and I'd be sorely disappointed if it were to go out of publication. I've been reading it since the 80s and look forward to every issue.

Probably not really bad news as perhaps most skeptics have decided that they only need one publication: Shermer's.
