MacCentral to Absorb MacWEEK on Monday, March 5

, according to this press release. "In a move to streamline operations, Mac Publishing, L.L.C. announced it will consolidate two of its Macintosh-related Web sites, integrating the content of MacWEEK.com into MacCentral.com as of Monday, March 5th, 2001. Company executives said the reorganization of online operations would result in a staff reduction of approximately 8.5 percent, or about seven people. None of Mac Publishing's other divisions are or will be affected." MacWEEK started as a print publication in 1987. MacCentral.Com was started in 1996 by Stan Flack in Canada as a Mac news web site, one of the very few from the mid 1990's to become a successful major commercial enterprise. [Business Wire]
