Magazine shuts down all of its blogs

Don’t worry. It’s not us.

Don’t worry. It’s not us.

Sad news. I liked Phil and Doug’s blogs. (Here’s Doug’s swan song.) More from the main mag-industry publication, and a hat tip to the main industry blog. Those Toronto Life people seem best at traditional media, so the good news is that the best among them will get to practise the ancient arts a while longer.

As for the Maclean‘s blogs, they are, to understate, in no danger of disappearing soon. Judging from traffic stats, reader reaction and the enthusiasm of our bosses, this experiment in online journalism/rumination/whatever — which in the case of Inkless Wells will be five years old this autumn — will continue.
