Jeff Bercovici of DailyFinance.com reports Wednesday that Atlantic Media has postponed the launch of its business news site.
“Development of the business-news site got underway last October with the hire of Michael Kinsley, founder of Slate and former editor of the New Republic, as its top editor. But that situation didn’t last long: By January, Kinsley had opted to move on, telling me, ‘I sort of looked into my soul…and decided I didn’t really want to do that.’ Smith notes that Kinsley is still very much a part of the Atlantic, and is now writing a daily column for its opinion site, the Atlantic Wire, which has been drawing 700,000 unique visitors a month.
“Although the plan was initially to replace Kinsley, that never happened, leaving his No. 2, Adam Pasick, who came to Atlantic Media from Reuters, to head it up. But with the project on ice, Pasick is leaving: He recently accepted a job as managing editor of New York magazine’s website.”
