Big Changes at Space News, Inc.
Editor’s Note: I received word today that two highly respected colleagues at Space News are leaving that publication.
An email from Space News Publisher Bill Klanke last month announced that the “must read” newspaper/website for anyone who wants to know what’s happening in the space business (apart from SpacePolicyOnline.com, of course!) was changing from a weekly newspaper to bi-weekly magazine format. The difficulties facing news publications in today’s digital/social media age are well documented and that alone was not much of a surprise. But farewell messages today from Executive Editor Warren Ferster, a 21-year Space News veteran, and reporter Dan Leone, who covered the NASA beat, were stunning.
I wish Warren and Dan the very best wherever they land and one can only hope no more shoes are about to drop over there. I have enormous respect for everyone associated with Space News and any downsizing in its coverage would be a loss to all of us in the space community.
