“Fine di un’epoca”

Salon ha annunciato la sua chiusura. Nel 1995 il magazine online statunitense era stato uno dei primi progetti di informazione digitale, allora straordinariamente innovativo soprattutto per contenuti spregiudicati e per attenzione a una nuova epoca culturale. Da molti anni non era stato in grado di rinnovarsi e aveva avuto successivi cambi di proprietà. Ma la sua chiusura è stata salutata con nostalgia da molti precoci osservatori e frequentatori delle trasformazioni digitali.

“When Salon launched in November 1995, the web was a very different place. A small group of journalists set out to create something original: a publication with a strong voice, a curiosity about the world and a belief that the internet could bring journalism and readers together in new ways. They helped pioneer a form of journalism that would come to define an entirely new era of publishing.
Over three decades, Salon has brought together politics, culture, criticism and ideas in a way that was distinctly our own. Our journalism examined power and politics, questioned assumptions, surfaced stories that deserved attention and made room for perspectives that were too often overlooked. Our writers and editors helped shape conversations about the forces changing our lives. The work was never simply about keeping up with the news. It was about making sense of it” .
