“Extinction level event” pushes Australian Anthill to sponsored online model

anthillcoverfan2Business magazine Anthill is to reduce its print frequency and upgrade its online offering in a bid to beat what its founder describes as publishing’s “extinction level event”.  

The magazine is to move from six times a year to quarterly. But publisher and founder James Tuckerman insisted: “We are high spirited about what we are doing. Change is good.”  

The first stage of the new look web site launched last week. Tuckerman said: “We have begun the process of changing our focus from a business magazine with a solid website to a digital media company with a fuller, fatter publication.”
