VITAMEDIAS

O fim de uns, o optimismo de outros:
Time Inc. to end Life magazine but keep it online
Life magazine shut down for a third time: Magazine publisher Time Inc. is shutting down Life magazine again, a brand it had resuscitated in late 2004 as a newspaper supplement.
Time Inc. said in a statement Monday that it would keep the Life brand going on the Internet, where it will launch a Web site with photos from its massive image collection, and by publishing books.
'LIFE' Cut Short: Time Inc. Shutters Newspaper Supplement
NEW YORK Time Inc. announced today that it will close LIFE magazine, now distributed as a weekend newspaper supplement. The print issue dated April 20, 2007 will be the magazine's last.
LIFE was carried in 103 newspapers with a total circulation of 13 million, the company said. It was re-launched for the third time in 2004.


InfoWorld folds print mag to focus on online and events: Yes, the rumors are true. As of April 2, 2007, InfoWorld is discontinuing its print component. No more printing on dead trees, no more glossy covers, no more supporting the US Post Office in its rush to get thousands of inky copies on subscribers' desks by Monday morning (or thereabouts). The issue that many of you will receive in your physical mailbox next week -- vol. 29, issue 14 -- will be the last one in InfoWorld's storied 29-year history.
