New Media Consortium Suddenly Ceases Operations — from campustechnology.com by Rhea Kelly
Excerpts:
In an e-mail announcement today, the New Media Consortium revealed that it will cease operations immediately. The e-mail stated:
“The New Media Consortium (NMC) regrets to announce that because of apparent errors and omissions by its former Controller and Chief Financial Officer, the organization finds itself insolvent. Consequently, NMC must cease operations immediately.
…
NMC is perhaps best known for its Horizon Project, an initiative that analyzes emerging education technologies, forecasts their impact in the short, medium and long term, and compiles the information in an annual Horizon Report.

I also share Bryan Alexander’s reflection/question here: “Can we use our imagination and technology to build something new in the NMC’s ruins?”
