The Stool Pigeon Music Newspaper Ceases Printing

• 6th Feb 2013

Satirical music newspaper The Stool Pigeon today sadly announced that their recent December/January issue will be their last.

The print publication, which launched in 2005, ran every two months. Long term Editor Phil Hebblethwaite said the reasons behind the decision were the new incompatibilities between print media and the online world.

In his parting letter, Hebblethwaite wrote: “I wanted to do much more online, but the newspaper sucked up nearly all our resources and time. It’s proved impossible to do both as well as we’d like and, to be frank, we’re knackered.”

The Stool Pigeon ran for 41 issues.
