Music newspaper The Stool Pigeon shuts down
It’s with great sadness that we bring the news that satirical music newspaper, The Stool Pigeon has shut down.
The print publication, which launched in 2005, ran every two months and have announced that the recent December/January issue will be their last.
Editor Phil Hebblethwaite said the reasons behind the decision were the new incompatibilies between print media and the online world.
In his parting letter, Hebblethwaite wrote: “I wanted to do much more online, but the newspaper sucked up nearly all our resources and time. It’s proved impossible to do both as well as we’d like and, to be frank, we’re knackered.”
You can read the full goodbye here, as well as a farewell poem from artist Billy Childish.
The Stool Pigeon ran for 41 issues.
