Lena Dunham, she of Girls and much social/gender/racial/political/you-name-it controversy, has shut down her media company Lenny Letter.
It was a "female-empowerment" online magazine that published articles be celebrities and various prominent women thinkers about the challenges of being a successful woman in this male dominated culture.
The reason is clear: lack of money, lack of advertisers, and, presumably, lack of readers.
It's too bad that this didn't succeed and it's just another depressing reminder that it's very hard to do work that promotes social justice while also being profitable.
Along with the closing of the Village Voice, more and more important voices are being drowned out by the digital mob.
