Atlanta Peach is no more
Luxury lifestyle mag shuts down.
Luxury lifestyle magazine Atlanta Peach shut down yesterday.
The AJC reports the staff was told yesterday:
Human resource representatives from parent company Niche Media Holdings arrived at the publications Buckhead offices Tuesday and informed publisher Elizabeth Schulte Roth and her staff that the magazine was suspending publication, citing the current economy.
The company representatives then confiscated the staffs corporate BlackBerrys. By early Wednesday morning, the Atlanta Peach magazine Web site had already been dismantled.
I was a regular freelance contributor to Peach in 2006 and early 2007. It was a great job — the staff was talented and fun, and it paid well. I only quit because I joined CL full-time in 2007.
