Business as usual at Minyanville

Minyanville founder Todd Harrison writes that it is business as usual at the personal finance news site despite him announcing Tuesday that he’s given up on the online media business model.

Harrison writes, “To clarify yesterday’s message — and the subsequent coverage in the Wall Street Journal — the takeaway for those within our community is business as usual. We will continue to publish the real-time Buzz & Banter, longer-form News & Views, the new and improved MV PRO, and the education center, MV EDU, while mapping our strategic next steps.

“And so it’s said, I have every intention of insisting that our loyal community have access to our content and products if and as the next stepping stone emerges. I’ve always believed that all great things require a matter of trust and a leap of faith, and that is self-evident in this approach.  Time will tell and the universe will show us the way.

The Truman Show-esque nature of this process notwithstanding, we’ve promised we’re not going to let the seismic shift distract us from our mission at hand.”
