For many years during the print magazine's run, it was the only magazine focused on Canadian business and technology. On March 13, 2015 the magazine's publisher and founder, Steve Dietrich, announced the print publication would cease, but that the website would continue. A decline in advertising revenue was stated by Dietrich as the prime reason.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mastheadonline.com/news/a_decline_in_ad_revenue_leads_to_suspension_of_backbone_magazine/ )〕 Backbone's website continues to publish news, event listings, press releases, and blog posts. ==Pick 20 award== In 2008 and 2009, Backbone published an annual Pick 20 award for Canada's leading Web 2.0 pioneers.
