Media Bistro reports rumors that the pub is folding, and a contributor tells us an editor there confirmed it today. What a shame.

Jim Benning is the cofounder and coeditor of World Hum.

I blame myself. I got my first assignment from them on Wednesday, the editor confirmed it Friday morning, the site folded Friday afternoon.

Had an encouraging meeting with the editor of Travel + Culture recently, too. Boom goes the dynamite.

I’m thinking about trying to get an assignment from Fox News.

News today is that the site is still hanging on, but with a smaller staff.
