MarketingVOX: After only six months, Hachette Filipacchi’s Shock magazine will be shuttered, though the website will continue to exist.
“The website has shown real energy and connection with this young demographic,” Hachette CEO Jack Kliger is quoted as saying in a post on the ClickZ blog (via MediaBuyerPlanner). He points out that the 41 page-views-per-visitor-session is one of the highest for Hachette’s websites. The site will relaunch in the spring.
