In changes symptomatic of the state of the entire news print industry, as readership and advertising revenues move more towards online news services, the publishers of space industry publication and website, Space News, have decided to change its printed offering from a weekly newspaper to a fortnightly magazine.
While printing and distribution costs will be significantly cut at Space News, nevertheless, the publisher, Bill Klanke, has had to announce staff redundancies including its Executive Editor Warren Ferster and US writer Dan Leone.
We at Seradata wish them well in the search for a new appointment and remain hopeful that those left at Space News, including the excellent and well connected Peter B de Selding, Jeff Foust, Mike Gruss and its editor-in-chief Brian Berger can keep the quality up.
