The website will continue to exist, and it will be rolled into another media outfit, as mentioned in the article in the OP. But the staff and all the paid writers are history.

A lot of 'progressive' news sites (Vox, Vice, Buzzfeed, etc.) have been funded or started by big-money venture capitalists or corporations.
