With a heavy coronary heart, I need to inform you that, after 23 years, we’re ceasing publication of The Bark. There are oh-so-many causes for this choice. Within the final decade, many corporate-owned magazines have folded following precipitous declines in each readership and promoting. As an indie journal, now we have discovered this bigger pattern to be insurmountable.
On a private be aware, I’ve been engaged on The Bark in what looks like 24/7 mode since I co-founded it 23 years in the past, with nary a break. Virtually a 3rd of my life has been dedicated to my “child.” I don’t know if, like this journal, I’ll attain the century mark, however I do realize it’s time for me to bow out. Belief me, this was an exceedingly troublesome and poignant choice to make.
The Bark will quickly grow to be a part of Kinship’s most up-to-date launch, The Wildest, a like-minded website targeted on educating and interesting pet dad and mom on wellness and way of life subjects — for canines and cats.
After greater than twenty years of publishing ‘the best canine journal ever …’ and establishing thebark.com as a web based vacation spot for considerate, inspiring and generally provocative materials … the time has come for us to step again and switch the reins over to Kinship, a gaggle of like-minded canine fanatics who can ship expanded content material and new experiences to our longtime readers and to a brand new era of canine lovers. Readers deserve good content material, and, above all, canines should dwell their greatest life attainable.
So, that’s it, my pals. To all of you who’re studying this now, we need to lengthen our most honest thanks. It’s due to you that we have been in a position to hold publishing for greater than twenty years—lots longer than trade specialists thought attainable. We liked listening to from you, and your enthusiasm for our mission; it touched us deeply.
