Media fails
Media Week, publishers of the c.c. title that lies unread in hundreds of publishing offices around the country, has given up the ghost according to a report in the Guardian.
Today’s issue of Media Week, dated 17 November, will be the last.
And,
Revolution will cease monthly publication and become a quarterly supplement within Marketing.
Double bubble then for the media boys.

Uninspired
Issue 60 of Scrapbook Inspirations (on sale 13 November 2009) will be the last monthly edition of the magazine.
As the Christmas issues hit the newsstand we can expect a slew of closures to be announced. Another Merry Christmas for the magazine industry!
Contract terminated
From the Guardian:
Reed Business Information is to make 18 staff redundant as part of a restructuring that will include the closure of 130-year old Contract Journal.
This follows the pattern of death by a thousand cuts for RBI.

Business failure
Calling yourself “The equivalent of What Car Magazine for specifiers of business machinery” must have sounded like a great statement when it was first coined by the publishers of What to Buy for Business.
In the past 18 months What Car has lost over 20,000 copies, and something similar must have happened to its emulator; W2B4B (as it irritatingly called itself) has just fallen to the industry’s magazine scrappage scheme.
