Executive Officer Max Kaiser recently spoke to Crikey for a story titled “Who killed Meanjin?”. An excerpt from his quote in the article is below:
[Meanjin’s] loss is not just a literary blow. It signals a narrowing of public debate and unfortunately a chilling message to people daring to support the publication of inconvenient truths. I do not know exactly what the machinations were that led to the decision to close Meanjin, but I think we should all be very disturbed by it.
