MediaBuyerPlanner: Business 2.0 will cease publication with its October issue. Time Inc. has decided to close rather than sell the magazine, though Mansueto Ventures – owners of rival Fast Company – and others reportedly made offers, writes Reuters.
The editor of Business 2.0, Josh Quittner, will be reassigned to Fortune magazine, along with nine other editorial staff members.
