Grid biz magazine takes a vacation

Lewis Lazare of the Chicago Business Journal writes that the Grid business magazine of the Chicago Sun-Times did not publish this week.

Lazare writes, “Sun-Times subscribers looking for their copy in home-delivered editions of the paper would have discovered the magazine was missing.

“Rather, buried in the paper’s thin Sunday main section was a single page of Grid and a brief note indicating the magazine was taking a week off. Readers were told Grid would return next Sunday.

“Though it has tried hard to be light, tight and exceedingly bright in its approach to business coverage — a format perhaps more appealing to twentysomethings and thirtysomethings looking for a bit of business insight — Grid has been notably short on advertising since its debut.

“Grid, however, has regularly featured a full-page ad from World Business Chicago, a not-for-profit economic development entity. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is WBC’s board of directors chairman and Michael Sacks is board vice-chairman.”
