weird to see this covered by cnn, though i guess it makes sense because literary magazines were part of the mainstream in the past. it's a shame they shut down the believer. i'd be curious to see the finances. even if it is a financial issue, maybe literary magazines and other artistic endeavors shouldn't be run like a profit-making business / quantified by money, since you can't put a dollar value on the benefits of art. here's a different take on why it shut down: https://www.gawker.com/media/the-believer-was-a-victim-of-mismanagement-and-neglect https://www.gawker.com/media/the-believer-was-a-victim-of-mi... edit: so much of the best literature (imo) that's come out in the past 20 years have come from loss-making small presses who do it for the love of it.
