JPG Mag Goes Under

It’s sad, JPG magazine is a great photography magazine that gives many unpublished photographers and writers an opportunity for publication credits. Effect Jan. 5, 2009 they are pulling the plug.  While I normally don’t post private emails, this email was sent out to thousands of members so I decided top post it her for everyone to read, in case links to JPG stop working, you’ll know why:

Today is a particularly sad day for all of us at JPG and 8020 Media.

We’ve spent the last few months trying to make the business behind JPG sustain itself, and we’ve reached the end of the line. We all deeply believe in everything JPG represents, but we just weren’t able to raise the money needed to keep JPG alive in these extraordinary economic times. We sought out buyers, spoke with numerous potential investors, and pitched several last-ditch creative efforts, all without success. As a result,jpgmag.com will shut down on Monday, January 5, 2009.
