PRH Reviews Online Teen Spaces, Closes Spinebreakers
Penguin Random House said it needs to move to online spaces where "our audiences are already present", and will close its teen book community Spinebreakers on 30th September.
The Spinebreakers site was set up in 2007 as a place for young people to talk about books and write reviews or stories, and in 2010 between 10,000 and 15,000 people visited it every month.
However, last month its members received an email from Penguin Random House saying that community was to close "after seven fantastic years".
