Just shy of its 4th birthday, Domino leaves behind its founding editor-in-chief, Deborah Needleman, and numerous other staffers now left to ride out the virulent financial crisis elsewhere. The website will also perish; although the date is still unclear, the site will presumably close nearer to the release of the final issue, in March.
"This decision to cease publication of the magazine and its website is driven entirely by the economy," Charles Townsend, CEO and President of Condé Nast, consoled concerned readers in a press release Wednesday.
Economic strategists and politicians, after much deliberation, have yet to attribute the spreading depression to any one cause nor have they been able to satisfactorily remedy any diseased journalistic ventures.
In lieu of flowers, Domino staffers ask for job leads instead.
