According to a News & Tech post, a January 10th email from the chairman of software firm MEI (Managing Editor Inc.), has announced that the company has shut down daily operations due to “financial challenges”.

“Although we are working to obtain appropriate funding, the current plan is to wind down daily operations and work closely with our quality partners and other system integrators to transition customer relations and support for long-term success,” the email read.

The email indicated that additional information would be coming this week to further clarify what their next steps would be and that basic support through phone and email (info@maned.com) was being restored.

MEI, who provides content production software to some major publishers— The Washington Post, Miami Herald, Pearson, Wired, National Geographic and the Los Angeles Times—has been in business for 30 years.
