Culture and politics site Salon informed readers on Thursday that it is ceasing operations effective immediately.
The site, which also turned 31 on the same day as its statement, wrote that “it’s difficult to find the right words for the end of something that has meant so much to so many people.”

“Thank you for being part of our story. It has been an extraordinary privilege,” the statement concluded.
