Press Gazette closes

Posted by Mark on 2006-11-25

The journalism trade magazine, Press Gazette has closed down after 41 years in operation. I've had dealings on and off with them since 1998 when I was working for their parent company. I wrote the system their web site runs on and I currently host their website. All their staff have been made redundant with immediate effect.

Any one of you who ends up catching this, good luck finding new jobs.

Update: This article indicates that Press Gazette is perhaps not an ex-parrot. For my part, I have had contact with the MD, who has promised that hosting bills will be paid and that I am to continue hosting the website, which does look positive. So far as I understand it though, all the editorial staff were made redundant.
