Time Inc. to Close Business 2.0
By Brad Stone

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/05/business/media/05mag.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

The latest dot-com casualty comes from the newsstand, not the Internet.

Business 2.0, a monthly magazine about the new economy, will be shut down rather than sold, its owners at Time Inc. have decided. The publication, which has been suffering from a decline in advertising revenue, will cease publication after its October issue, which will have a cover article on where to invest in a real estate downturn.

According to people familiar with Time Inc.’s handling of the matter, Time turned down offers from Mansueto Ventures, owners of the rival magazine Fast Company, and other prospective buyers to acquire the Business 2.0 brand and its circulation list of 600,000 subscribers.

The lifestyle magazine, which at a hefty ?4.95 a copy makes its own contribution to wealth redistribution, intends to embrace the new fashionability of philanthropy among the very well-off. Edward Carr, the editor of Intelligent Life, says: "I want to write about philanthropy much more practically.
