It looks like betabeat (http://www.betabeat.com/)  has removed the bitcoin icon and link on their frontpage to bitcoin stories.

Also recently - the jupiterbroadcasting guys who do the TechSNAP videos mentioned they may drop their 'Bitcoin Blaster' section of the show if there wasn't much happening.

I guess bitcoin is getting a bit boring for some in the tech media. 
Ah well - with the run of mostly bad press bitcoin has had in the past few months, maybe 'boring' is a good thing and we can enjoy some relative price stability!

It seems Betabeat Bitcoin coverage was one person http://www.betabeat.com/tags/bitcoin/ writing it all, maybe she jumped out?  She is still writing for them.

I thought it was a bit odd that they had a specific bitcoin section. I believe Bruce Wagner introduced them to mybitcoin and they lost some money, though she was interviewed on his show at the time, and it's worth watching (if you have a leg fetish)
