The IRS announced next year’s standard deduction and tax brackets.
Salon, one of the first online news publications and liberal blogs on the web, announced Thursday it was ceasing publication after a 31‑year run.
“The web was a very different place” when Salon launched in 1995, the publication wrote in an article titled “Goodbye from Salon.” Salon wrote that, “A small group of journalists set out to create something original: a publication with a strong voice, a curiosity about the world and a belief that the internet could bring journalism and readers together in new ways.” That model helped pioneer “an entirely new era of publishing,” it said.
