Salon.com's women's feature blog, Broadsheet, is being closed down. What does this mean? Definitely a loss of an intelligent voice in the women's online community. Of course, Salon will still be publishing their take on world issues, often presented with a women's position in mind, but to lose such a compelling argumentative authority for health issues, financial issues and popular culture is a shame. I worry that this could signal a decline in other women focus blogs (Jezebel.com and Feministing.com come to mind). Is the blog reading generation just apathetic to feminism? Or is it just too heavy a subject for a generation fixated by the Kardashians?
I guess you will just need to fill the void broadsheet has left behind!
