Winklevoss Twins Back Payload, a New Outlet Covering the Business of Space
For years, space coverage has focused on the consumer-facing spectacle of space travel instead of the business and societal implications of the industry. Payload, a new digital media company focused on the business and policy of space, aims to go a step deeper by providing coverage to space industry professionals. The new company has raised a $650,000 seed round, mostly from Winklevoss Capital, the venture firm run by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Like many new media upstarts, Payload’s business model revolves around a weekly newsletter. Soon, that newsletter, which includes sponsorships, will move to daily. In the future, Payload plans to build complementary products like events and podcasts, or more newsletters.

Women’s magazine Marie Claire is ending its U.S. print edition after 27 years. The magazine, sold by Hearst to British publisher Future Media in May, quietly informed its subscribers via a letter that its Summer 2021 issue would be its last. Marie Claire subscribers will instead receive a print copy of Harper’s Bazaar for the rest of their subscription terms, according to the letter, which was signed by Bazaar editor in chief Samira Nasr. Nasr added that Marie Claire would publish select special editions available for purchase at newsstands.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press is also looking at a digital future; the newspaper bought thousands of iPads to convert print subscribers to a mostly digital format.
