We are excited to announce that a select number of Hyperallergic articles will be syndicated each week to Salon magazine — one of the OGs of online news and commentary with a reach of over 5 million+ readers a month. We’re very happy that the quality, depth and scope of articles on Hyperallergic is being recognized by one of the original internet-based publications that for close to two decades has paved the way for others to publish online and make a living at it.
Within the first week, Hyperallergic posts have already garnered the attention of Salon’s large audience and today Scott Blake’s “My Chuck Close Problem” hit the frontpage of the site.
Hyperallergic is proud to expose art and its discontents™* to a whole new audience. We hope that this partnership will allow us to broaden the conversation about art to those who may not enjoy the same exposure to the visual arts as many of us do. Our favorite comment so far was in response to our MoMA iPad app review, which simply read, “Call me backward, but I have no idea what MoMA stands for.”
All we can say is, “This is going to be fun.”
