Performing Songwriter has announced that the June 2009 issue will be it's last.
Editor Lydia Hutchinson, who founded the magazine 16 years ago, said that she often wondered what the end would look like. In a letter on the magazine's website she writes:
At the same time, Radio and Records, a prominent music industry trade magazine has quit publication and will merge operations with Billboard.biz. R+R was bought by the Nielsen/Billboard enterprise back in 2006.
We recently wrote about Paste Magazine's efforts to encourage readers and subscribers to pony up some cash to keep the magazine going through these tough economic times. Paste raised $166K with the help of donated tracks from numerous artists.
We also wrote about Blender Magazine calling it quits in March of this year.

I’ve talked for years about the beauty of independence. The fact is, it’s not the easiest road to take, but it’s the one with the biggest payoff in life experience, sense of purpose and whatever control life actually allows us. If there’s a train coming down the track we don’t need to have a meeting about what to do, when to do it and then vote on it. We don’t have to wait until the third or fourth car rolls over us, bloodied and barely hanging on, for some decision to come down telling us what to do. We simply step off the rails, fully intact.It's unclear if the magazine will continue to have an online presence like the route that No Depression went after stopping publication last year.
