Online Media Pioneer Salon To Shutter: “Our Publishing Model Is No Longer Sustainable”

Salon, one of the internet’s earliest publications, is shutting down nearly 31 years after its launch. Ken Ziffren Offers Optimistic View On Industry, Even When It Comes To AI & Federal Tax Credit Legislation The site announced Thursday in a farewell post that it would go dark later Thursday. Salon was founded in the wake of a strike at the San Francisco Examiner when one of the newspaper’s editors, David Talbot, started exploring the publishing potential of the internet. Talbot was joined by Gary Kamiya, Andrew Ross, Mignon Khargie, Scott Rosenberg, and Laura Miller in co-founding the site, which debuted on November 20, 1995. Initially, the site’s web address was “salon1999.com” because “salon.com” was owned by a hair salon owner in Texas. A staffer later recalled that the salon owner “stubbornly refused to give it up until one of our founders flew down there and, after frank, open and increasingly Mafia-like negotiations, received the precious http://www.salon.com in exchange for a large bushel of Salon stock.” The left-of-center site always maintained a San Francisco orientation but gained a wide audience delivering news and criticism about politics, culture, ideas and other areas. Along with other digital outlets like Slate, it gained traction
