Legendary liberal magazine Texas Observer is closing and laying off its staff salon.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from salon.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The 68-year-old progressive publication, which published Ronnie Dugger, Molly Ivins and Kaye Northcott, hit financial troubles and wasn’t able to broaden its audience, board members said.
The closing raises questions about whether small progressive publications can survive the digital transformation of journalism during a time of rapid social, demographic and technological change.
