W(h)ither Salon?

2006-03-29 19:29:36.770826+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

The Boston Diaries asks where have all the Salon articles gone?, noting a paucity of links to articles from Salon and wondering if it's a quality issue or an access issue.

I actually joined Salon when they first went pay, but I did it reluctantly, hoping that they'd bring back their former edginess. They didn't, and my subscription lapsed. Instead, so far as I can tell, they've just put the same sort of content and opinion I can find at any of the big Washington DC personality (aka "political") weblogs behind ads for products that I'd run screaming from. But I don't have to search very far to find discontent with Salon's direction back in June of '99.
