Owen Thomas of Valleywag writes Monday about how Fortune magazine has decreased the popular feature of dumbest moments in business from 101 to 21 this year.
“A necessary disclosure here: I worked on this list for several years when it was put out by Fortune’s now-defunct sister publication, Business 2.0. It was a pain in the tuchis! It was a lot of work! I had half-a-dozen factcheckers going full speed for weeks on that mother! Oh, and also, it was funnier when I wrote it.
“So I can’t blame Fortune for cutting back. Tough times, which make for great stories of business disaster, are exactly when advertising-dependent publications are least able to afford covering them.
