Better to have tried, than died wondering – AATS calls it quits
By Doug Calhoun for sticK
(sticK - 21 Feb. 2012 ) You’ve got to admire a business when it realises its time to pull the pin, cash in its chips, decide enough’s enough, or whatever other term to describe shutting shop.
So it is with allaboutthestory.com, a two year old internet start up that sought to link newspaper and magazine editors looking for a story, with writers.
At the time of its launch, co-founder Julie Starr reckoned the site was always going to be an experiment. Starr, like everyone else in the world, was, and still is trying to figure out how newspapers, journalism and writers are going to play out and pay out in an, often free, internet world.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation & commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based news service concentrating on following the money from ideas to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @ gmail.com
