Goodbye, No Depression

After nearly thirteen years, No Depression, the magazine covering a wide range of American roots music, is to cease print publication with its next issue (May-June 2008). The publishers, Grant Alden, Peter Blackstock and Kyla Fairchild, explain in the current issue (March-April) that among other factors the crisis in the recorded music industry has cut their revenue from advertising by a third, and the drop is expected to continue.

The loss of the magazine will be offset to some extent by a bigger role for the No Depression website.
