Salon is shutting down after 31 years

Salon, an online-only news magazine outlet, is ceasing publication after 31 years due to unsustainable business realities in independent digital journalism. The company, acquired by Find.co in 2023, cited the changing nature of the industry, particularly the impact of Google Zero and AI tools, without providing further details. The editorial archive will remain live for now. Salon's legacy, which helped shape digital journalism, will continue to be relevant.
