Even Porn Not Recession Proof: R.I.P. AVN Online Magazine
Quote:
It seems that even porn is not immune from the recession. AVN Online, the offshoot of the trade publication Adult Video News, is ceasing publication. AVN Publisher Tony Lovett wrote to subscribers today saying, "This past year, the economic downturn has taken a harsh toll on industries across the board. Advertising budgets dwindled or disappeared altogether, and trade publications suffered as a consequence. At the same time, we at AVN Media Network began to see a consolidation of the industries."
AVN Online (NSFW) was the internet-specific version of AVN (NSFW). It has covered all aspects of the internet porn industry since its launch five years ago. Beginning in September, coverage of online and novelties (sex toys) will be consolidated into an expanded main AVN publication. Lovett said, "Consolidating these titles into a fresh new adaptation of our flagship magazine, AVN, will allow us to cut costs, offer more affordable advertising rates, and deliver comprehensive coverage of a dynamic yet converging industry in a single publication."
R.I.P. AVN Online.
