Goodbye from Southeast Asia Globe
Been getting their daily newsletter for years :
their publication stared the year before i moved to Cambodia (2007) and loved having a drink in the pickled parrot and reading the latest issue

I, for one, will be sad to see them closing down

Goodbyes are never easy, but this one is especially difficult. Today we announce the suspension of publishing at Southeast Asia Globe
We want to start this letter by saying it’s a privilege to do what we do. Even on days when the news is slow or the work has piled up, there’s not a moment that passes where we’d rather turn our backs on the journalistic pursuit.
So it's with a heavy heart today that we must announce the suspension of publishing at Southeast Asia Globe, effective at the end of September. This is not a decision made lightly, nor as a reflection of the work of our staff, but rather the painful outcome of intensifying financial challenges unfortunately common to our industry.
We’ll touch on some of those in this letter. But first, we want to say these past 16 years have been a fantastic run.
We embarked on this journey in 2007 with the idea of bringing an international style publication to Cambodia, and we achieved our aim. From high quality stories and reporting on Southeast Asia and Cambodia showcasing world class photography and design, we made a commitment to turn out a premium, 100-page magazine every month. We maintained that commitment for 12 years without interruption, expanding to new markets and distributing the magazine in eight countries throughout the region by 2014.
Read the full storyAs for Globe, we hope this is not the end, but it’s certainly goodbye for now as we go back to the drawing board in search of a business model that works. We’ve learned a lot over the past few years and are open to any and all conversations with those who might be interested in working together or taking over the publication. In the meantime, our inbox is open, so please feel free to drop us a line. We’d love to hear from you. And before we go, we’d like to say thank you again to all of our readers, partners and amazing teammates and colleagues from over the years. We could not have come this far without you.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
Re: Goodbye from Southeast Asia Globe
That's a pity, definitely one of the better publications in the region for years. Compare it to the bilge that the Kh Times throws out on the daily, it is quite a loss.

ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
