The Guardian expired, suddenly without explanation. One would have thought that the publisher would have at least sent notice to subscribers stating the reasons for the ceasing of publication, but they didn't.
I was very close to these developments but never wrote about it. I got to know the editor Bill Ryan and some of the writers in the 1980s when I was still in touch with Peter Camejo. They were dealing with a declining readership and financial problems that all print publications were dealing with. Peter had developed close ties to Guardian reporter John Trinkl who was sympathetic to the North Star Network. Later on, he connected with some of the ex-Guardian people who had joined Line of March, an ill-fated semi-Maoist group that Max Elbaum belonged to. After they came to the conclusion that Leninism was a dead-end, they started a magazine called CrossRoads that was a bid to coalesce around a non-sectarian approach, an approach that the Guardian was for as well. After CrossRoads folded, I wrote about the ramifications: http://www.columbia.edu/~lnp3/mydocs/organization/crossroads.htm
