PRINT IS DEAD: Conde Nast Closes Four Mags!

Edited by Hillary Frazier

It’s official, print is dying. Conde Nast said goodbye to four of their publications: Modern Bride, Elegant Bride, Cookie, and Gourmet. CEO Charles Townsend said:

“The review has led us to a number of decisions designed to navigate the company through the economic downturn and to position us to take advantage of coming opportunities.”

In other words, “Print is dead, we’re hoping there is room for us on the internet”

Hey Townsend, there isn’t. Get over it.

‘Brides’ and ‘Bon Appétit’ will take over the bridal and cooking for Conde’s list..but I’m thinking/hoping they’re all dead soon..

PRINT IS DEAD: Conde Nast To Cut Back!!!

Edited by Hillary Frazier

• Budget reductions of around 25% at Details, Traveler, Glamour, Gourmet, and Teen Vogue.
• Unknown budget cuts at the rest of the Conde mags—except the New Yorker, which is escaping unscathed, according to the NYO.
• The various mag editors get to determine how to achieve their budget cuts.
• No immediate magazine closures are predicted, but some of the weaker titles may reduce their frequency.
• Layoffs are coming.

I’m going to say it again…Print is DEAD!!
