We reached out to Choire Sicha, the co-owner and co-founder of The Awl, to find out what’s going on. Mr. Sicha did not clarify very much at all.“Why would we tell anyone! That’s no fun,” he replied. “We were going to make it into a fantasy sports betting site but instead decided to start a heavily funded bloodwork lab—but for women. High-end commercial phlebotomy, with a feminine touch!”

So what’s happening? We’re actively planning what The Hairpin should be next, in a way that pays tribute to its legacy.

Still curious about what the hell happened to the Hairpin.

With Laura Olin folding her Awl newsletter, I rediscovered this beautiful/crushing issue - should resonate with a few of us on ilx:Songs as time machines

why is this hairppenning?
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 17 January 2018 00:08 (six years ago) link
this sucks, obviously
that said, the "now who will publish young writers and outsiders" takes are kind of weird because the awl* has always been as new york media insider as one can possibly get without literally being an email backchannel
* less so the hairpin, sometimes, depending on the era
