New ‘partner’ sought to save The Global Mail
Staff of The Global Mail are seeking alternative sources of funding to keep the publication alive after philanthropist Graeme Wood announced he would withdraw his financial commitment from February 20.
In a statement released by The Global Mail, staff say Wood’s departure still allows them to pursue “ambitious plans for the future” and they are seeking both philanthropic and commercial opportunities to maintain the publication.
“We are pursuing editorial and publishing partnerships in Australia and beyond,” the statement said.
“The Global Mail’s award-winning journalism – longform, photos, video, multimedia and data projects – has also been published well beyond The Global Mail’s own multiple urls, on the The Daily Beast, Time.com, Guardian (UK and Australia), CNN and others.”
This is the first time I have ever heard of this website.
I’m guessing it’s failed because nobody else had ever heard of it either.
Switching to a gmail account looks to be the first cost saving measure.
Two words: hi.larious.
An inner-city, wet-Left publication, reliant on a sugar-daddy, suddenly finds itself having to cope in the real world.
Welcome to the real world.
Anyone describing the Global Mail as inner-city, wet-Left obviously has not looked at it. Maybe if it was an inner-city, wet-Left operation in would not be in the bother it is now. It would be great if those running the Global Mail got their act together and produced a web site worth looking at.
