But you have to wonder if Wang's continuing to work for Novix is affecting the content at all. Leitch's column, a self-deprecating rumination on the state of being unemployed, doesn't mention the corporation that had more than a little to do with it. The letter from the editors, explaining that Ironminds is back, only makes an oblique reference to Novix. Jami Attenberg feels that involvement with Novix changed the character of the site from the beginning, and not for the better. Ironminds went from a small, quality site that was all about the writing, to a medium-sized, quality site that was all about the publicity.
Good quality is good quality, no matter how it's packaged.
It's hard to say. Leitch sums up the experience. We went through the corporate machine and came out a little tattered, but still going on, I guess. We're trying to find a buyer. James Norton contributed to this article.
