Jazz Times to continue...
July 13, 2009

Jazztimes Will Play On
By BEN RATLIFF; Compiled by RACHEL LEE HARRIS
JazzTimes, one of the country’s most prominent jazz magazines with a circulation of more than 100,000, announced last month on its Web site, jazztimes.com, that it was ceasing publication because of financial trouble. Much of the magazine’s audience — as well as contributors who hadn’t been paid for their recent work — assumed that this was the end of a long-running institution, one that started as the newsletter Radio Free Jazz in 1970 and developed into a glossy magazine in 1990. But the magazine, above, will return, its editor in chief, Lee Mergner, said in an interview on Sunday. Its former publisher, Glenn Sabin, has sold the magazine’s brand and assets to Madavor Media, a Boston-based company that publishes specialized magazines on collectibles and sports. An August issue will be published, and arrangements are being made to pay contributors what they are owed, Mr. Mergner said. The magazine will retain its managing editor, Evan Haga, and intends to use the same contributors. “Our only plans are to figure out how to do things better,” Mr. Mergner added. “This isn’t an opportunity for us to clean house.”

I just tried to subscribe online but kept getting error messages. And, their toll-free phone number apparently doesn't work for Alaskans. Just when I thought things were getting better and I was trying to help a little ...
Gee, I wonder if these two events are typical and could prove problematic for them?
