Maybe not in the case of your "script," which I was not clear on exactly what that was.
However, there are a number of trade magazines by organizations that do not solicit ads to subsidize the magazine. In those cases, magazines have been known to cost over $50 an issue as opposed to an ad-subsidized $5-10 cover price... a subscription of such a bi-monthy (6 issues) can cost hundreds. (Yes, I've seen them.)
This is where ad revenue shines, subsidizing the cost of a magazine in a significant way... because most people wouldn't want to pay $50 for an issue of
Time, or $500 a month for basic cable.
