In my opinion, the biggest problem both xbiz and avn have had is they let themselves get too detached from the industry. You go out and hire people with marketing and publication backgrounds with no adult industry background to run your shows and publications, and it makes it hard to produce compelling material.

ESPN employees journalists, but it employees journalists who LOVE sports. The WSJ employees people who know the segments of the business they cover. AVN comes from the video background. Xbiz is a compilation of press release material and fluff from advertisers as filler in my opinion.

And Klixxx? Last update on their website was March.
