According to blogger Cyril Huze, Dealernews is ending publication this week.
For 50 years, Dealernews offered industry insiders the buzz on what was going on. In recent years, the publication mixed how-to articles (pieces on improving sales and customer service) with news updates, keeping dealers and their staffers in the loop.
But, the magazine is supposed to be closing down on this Wednesday, Huze reports.
The magazine was published by UBM Advanstar, the same outfit that ran DealerExpo until that was closed down last year. It’s been a tough couple years for the company, as the Orlando AIMExpo show has really put the pressure on their powersports show business. DealerExpo was a huge show, but it had declined rapidly in recent years.
Dealernews has not published a digital issue since last June.
