Fishbowl LA going dark after all these years

fbla-icon.pngMediabistro is calling it a hiatus but says that "within the next few weeks, all existing FishbowlLA content will be folded into the FishbowlNY archives." Current editor Richard Horgan will move over to the company's FishbowlNY site "to cover the Hollywood trades, awards season and a broad range of national media stories." More from the announcement:

Launched in 2005, the site has seen its fair share of illustrious editors over the years including Claude Brodesser-Akner, Mayrav Saar and Tina Dupuy. Thanks to all of them as well as to Matthew Fleischer, Pandora Young and Marcus Vanderberg for keeping us in the LA loop.


We’re keeping the Twitter account @FishbowlLA active with news and updates. So follow us there, if you don’t already.

Mediabistro also recently relaunched its main page as more of an all-around media page.
