By: Wayne Robins Weekly Supplement Appeared In Dozens Of Papers
After June 17, newspaper readers of the Sunday tech supplement
Access magazine will have No Access.
Subtitled "America's Guide to the Internet," the publication has
been suspended for the same reason newspapers and dot-coms have
been suffering across the board: "continuing uncertainties in the
Internet and advertising economies," said a company rep.
Founder Mike Veitch, who stepped down as CEO in March, is seeking
fresh investment. According to industry sources, Access
received about $48 million in venture capital funding. One source
said the magazine supplement appeared in about 50 U.S. newspapers
when publication was suspended.
