The Death of Business 2.0

October 10, 2007

I  just received my October issue of Business 2.0 and noticed the outside cover saying “This is your last issue…” OK, I thought, I need to update my subscription, but then I read further… “We’re writing to inform you that Business 2.0 magazine will no longer be published in print form.”

This is a huge loss of a great business publication. Business 2.0 has been, in my opinion, one of the best Technology & Business magazines for the past 10 years - since its first issue.  As I’ve read on other blogs, Time Inc. entertained offers to purchase the magazine & subscriber-based, but instead chose to close the publication and roll part of the editorial team into Fortune magazine. I think this is a huge mistake.

 While Fortune Magazine is a great publication, its editorial filter will change the unique content style and approach that was the trademark of the Business 2.0 team. Who will step up and fill the gaps?

  • Fast Company
  • Inc.
  • Fortune Small Business
