R.I.P. Punk Planet
After 80 issues and 13 years, Punk Planet, our favorite independent music magazine, is saying goodbye. In today’s Pitchfork and blog-fueled music community, the sad reality is that “benefit shows are no longer enough to make up for bad distribution deals, disappearing advertisers, and a decreasing audience of subscribers.”
Still, it’s been a great run for the mag:
We’ve sounded many alarms from our editorial offices: about threats of co-optation, big-media emulation, and unseen corporate sponsorship. We’ve also done everything in our power to create a support network for independent media, experiment with revenue streams, and correct the distribution issues that have increasingly plagued independent magazines.
