Some business media won't survive past 2010

Douglas McIntyre, the editor of 24/7 Wall Street, writes on BloggingStocks.com that he believes a number of business media outlets won’t be around this time next year.

As investment professionals are fired, they may drop out of the business news consumption population as well.

“Who may not make it? The traditional business magazines publish on weekly or fortnightly cycles. That is too long a time between articles in a world where the web delivers information in real time. They may not get enough readers on the internet to offset sales lost in print.
