CLB Media closes four b2b titles

CLB Media which, a few years ago, was on an acquisition tear last week closed four titles, according to a posting in mastheadonline. The four titles were:

• Advanced Manufacturing (9 years old, now included as a branded section in another CLB title Manufacturing Automation).
• Green Business (launched with some fanfare last year, but apparently a victim of advertisers no longer as enamoured of promoting their green credentials);
• Network Cabling (serving an audience considered by CLB to be well-served by other titles such as Electrical Business); and
  
• Workplace (an HR title that suffered from the common wisdom in the b2b marketplace that you don't want to be #3; as it was, behind Thomson-Reuters' Canadian HR Reporter and the online pub HR.com).
