In sad news for local media, Queenstown's feisty but under-financed Crux has folded.
When the ODT took over Mountain Scene & turned it into a virtual PR department for QLDC & the Chamber of Commerce, Crux stepped up & became THE place for fearless QT reporting.
Crux broke several stories & upset a few self-important people. But if QLDC & friends don't advertise in your publication, it's a hard road to profitability.
Some in QT will be celebrating.
