Wonk this wayApril 27, 2009 Final Update: Thanks to all for your kind comments. Here's hoping our paths cross again.Well, this is it: the post I've been putting of writing because I wasn't sure exactly what to say, or how. I'm still not sure. But it is Media Wonk's sad duty to report that Content Agenda will be shutting down this week. Our parent company, Reed Business Information, has decided not to continue supporting the site, making us officially a victim of these very hard times in the publishing business. Our last day will be Friday, May 1. I would like to thank all our readers, contributors, supporters, friends and competitors for helping us get this far. I think we gave 'em a good run and now it's time to move on. I wish you all the best of luck in the future. Though Content Agenda is shutting down, Media Wonk will be soldiering on alone, for those who might still be interested. I've established a blog, The Media Wonk, at www.themediawonk.com, where I plan to continue writing about many of the same topics I wrote about here, and maybe a few others. The site is currently live, but is still very much a work in progress. I hope to get it looking like something soon. In the meantime, Media Wonk can be reached at psweeting@comcast.net, (202) 506-4452. I hope you'll wonk along with me. Posted by Paul Sweeting on April 27, 2009 | Comments (11)

In response to: Wonk this way Media Wonk commented: Scott--I'm afraid I won't be able to duplicate the breadth of news aggregation we compiled here at Content Agenda on The Media Wonk. Content Agenda paid LexisNexis for access to its global database of news sources, which we drew on for the bulk of our content. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to continue that on my own. I do plan to make links and aggregation a component of The Media Wonk, though, so I hope you'll check in regularly. Thanks for your kind comments.--Paul

In response to: Wonk this way mark vrieling commented: Say it ain't so Joe! I think your observation that content agenda is a victim of the times is correct in the same way that Al Gore's presidential Run was a victim of its times. As with that situation I think that we are the one's that are really loosing here and I can't help but believe that you will go on to find even more rewarding avenues of expression. I describe you to people that don't know you as "the smartest journalist in the video business". That remains true whether your work is being done through content agenda, Media Wonk or what ever you do. What I would like to see you do next is become Jon Stewarts Media reporter. Your out of the box intelligent and yet slightly irreverent take on your industry seems tailor made for his show. However what ever you do next, count me in as reader. Like Jon Stert, the brand is and should be Paul Sweeting not Content Agenda anyway.
