Salon.com Clings To Dot-Com Swagger
from the stayin'-alive... dept
Lots of people are talking about Salon.com since they warned a week and a half ago that they might not survive the month. Now, it seems that some news organizations can't even save the obituary. While this article makes it clear that Salon is fighting for survival it reads like a prepared obituary that they've been sitting on and just waiting to let loose. More interesting than the possible end of Salon is the glee that some people take in the potential death of the site. It seems to be one of those sites people love to hate.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
