Window Media has just announced it will be shutting down publication of it’s Lone Star fag-rag, The Houston Voice.

Rising costs and falling sales, we’re sure, had something to do with the transformation,, but apparently it didn’t stick. Editor and Publisher reports:
Window Media has published the last issue of Houston Voice, and will soon take down its Web site, a spokesperson for the largest U.S. gay newspaper chain confirmed Wednesday.

[The] folding was first reported by Press Pass Q, the online newsletter published by Rivendell Media and Q Syndicate. The newsletter said the decision to discontinue publication was “based, in part, on declining ad sales.” The Window spokesperson said there were “a myriad of reasons” the paper was folded.
