Media Unspun: Media Unspun Has 11 Days to Live
Jimmy Guterman, Media Unspun's editor & publisher, writes:

I am sorry to report that Media Unspun will suspend publication Dec. 13, a week from Friday. That's right: Our luck runs out on Friday the 13th.

Our team, which produced Media Grok for the Industry Standard, regrouped as Media Unspun back in January. We launched a subscription- and advertising-supported email newsletter about the technology business during an economic slowdown that is having a particularly violent effect on the publishing, technology, and advertising industries. Despite the high quality of the newsletter, as evidenced by the feedback we receive every day, we can't fight a hurricane.

Thanks to Andy Bourland for the tip. Gotta admit that, while I did enjoy Media Grok in its day at the Standard, this pub wasn't really on my radar (just a generic news round-up site, no particular focus, as far as I can tell browsing their archive). Plus, I see from their Alexa rank of over 700,000, the site doesn't appear to get much traffic.

Situation updates on the site's weblog.
