## Summary

Salon, a liberal news and commentary magazine founded in 1995, has announced it is ceasing publication after 31 years. Its editors said the publishing model was no longer sustainable amid long-running changes in independent digital journalism, marking the end of an early online publication that helped shape the field.

Salon began with a belief that the internet could connect journalism and readers in new ways, and its writers covered power, politics and overlooked perspectives. The magazine supported Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal and launched a controversial initial public offering in 1999; its share price later fell for years. Its editors thanked the founders, staff, readers and collaborators, and said they hoped its digital journalism legacy would endure.
