Video Business Shuts Down

Video Business magazine, a definitive chronicler of the home video business for 29 years and a sister publication of Variety (parent co. is Reed Business), is closing its doors after 29 years, effective this week. Both the online and print operations will go dark.

According to the mag's web site, Reed is divesting itself of most of its U.S. B2B pubs. Still, since both the magazine and home video businesses are in trouble, a magazine that covers home video suffers a double whammy.
