“If New York can still lay claim to a #literary community in the age of the internet, then #Bookforum was one of its central nodes, a place where upstarts and established names alike could meet on the page.” https://www.vulture.com/2022/12/bookforum-magazine-closing.html #writers #books

point 1: the contention is not with the production process, but the value of the product itself.
point 2: periodicals have a life cycle.
"It’s a puzzle, figuring out the next iteration of smart book reviews, or, more broadly, creating business models for independent cultural publications. And puzzles can be fun to solve."

“For so many of us in the book world, [#Bookforum] represented a kind of critical apotheosis, positioned in the middle territory between service #journalism and the academy…I’m tired of losing outlets to conglomeration. I’m tired of #culture being under siege because of money, of corporations and the wealthy buying platforms and destroying them just because they can.” —David L.

Great reporting and a quick turnaround at @hyperallergic on the shuttering of #Bookforum days after Penske Media acquired the magazine’s parent company and sister pub Artforum. Penske “has over 20 brands in its roster” https://hyperallergic.com/787127/rip-bookforum/ #magazines

Apologies for sharing a Twitter announcement here, but Bookforum posted there that its current issue is to be its last. It's a real hit to the literary journalism world because Bookforum had its own independent vision and gave writers (including me) plenty of freedom in which to essay/assay away. If you were not a reader, trust me that a distinct, wide-ranging quality venue for literary discussion is being lost.
