BlackVoices.com, an 8-year-old Web site owned by Tribune, is slated to be closed or sold in coming weeks. The site, which has failed to turn a profit, and the two publications it generated focus primarily on African-American readers. If a buyer isn’t found, the business could be shut down, according to the company.
In recent months, BlackVoices had been in merger discussions with VanguardeMedia, the New York-based publisher of the African-American targeted magazines Savoy and Honey. But Vanguarde, which had revenue of more than $30 million, was forced into bankruptcy last month.
