While the Washington Blade, Southern Voice and a slew of Window Media papers are being reborn under new names, the future is less clear for the Memphis Triangle Journal. Published since 1990 by all-volunteer staff through Memphis Gay & Lesbian Community Center, the Journal is closing up its print version because, you guessed it, nobody is reading it and advertisers are fleeing. The move leaves just InsideOut and Out & About Newspaper for Tennessee’s gay readers — as an online version of the Journal, while possible down the road, isn’t in the plans just yet.

This is sad. I enjoyed reading the Triangle. Memphis has a large population and a reach that extends across several states. You’d think that would be enough to keep a publication viable.
These are hard times for LGBT publications. I write for InsideOut and it recently switched from being published each week to once a month.
