Official Ceased Publication Updates

Quote from Isis : I just got a letter from "Science & Theology" magazine. They are ceasing publication as of the last issue (I think it was July). They lost their grant and the revenue from the subscriptions does not cover their costs.

I can see the outcry that will esnue from this disaster!

Quote : Gee do you think we will get Biblical Archeology instead? Or maybe The Torah Today?

Kidding, I kid you Isis! It's always sad to hear when a grant funded mag goes down.

As for GIANT - hey, I preciedt that one was gonna go down last year in the Magazine Dead pool. it hasn't yet but I bet it will soon. That and Hollywood Life.

I'm gonna try and see wots up w/Radar. My hubby really liked that. I'll investigate and report back to the class.

Don't know why all this anger. Most of those magazine ceasing publications cost us nothing! It was free!

I just spotted this on mediabistro.

"Unfortunately, because the performance metrics we set for new magazines were not achieved, and because of the challenging economy, tough newsstand environment, and rising paper and postal costs, two magazines will be discontinued: SHOP Etc. (after its October issue) and Weekend (after its September issue)."

I wonder if/what we'll get to replace them? I'm bummed, I had ShopEtc thru next October, and had signed up for Weekend thru the free Chase offer, and hadn't gotten the first issue yet...

Wow. I know a lot of people are gonna be upset about SHOP Etc. ending Isn't it like brand new anyway?

nooo!! yea it's only a year-ish or two old.... i had it til 2012 coz that's where my budget living went

If Shop, Etc. is going under, I predict Adore Shop is next.

Adore Shop already ceased

Vodreaux :

1. many people who do freebies have a false sense of entitlement. These are the same folks who when you post a really great deal for a free $25 item will say 'yeah but the shipping's not free" . They are also the same people who will order freebies intended only for DNA splicers, Cancer-ridden patients with months to live and so on. Someday when they need a certain freebie intended only for them and their interest group, here's hoping other greedy rasturds took them all.

2. Other people are genuine readers who enjoy their free magazines very much and are sad to see a good one go

3. Some people understand that the publishers were PAID for our free subs by a sponsor such as Computer associates, Spectra, My Points, veteran's Advantage or others and just want to receive what that sponsor paid for. the magazine already got to fib to advertisers about its increased circulation and pocket higher rates for ads because of us and our sponsored subs so the least these folks feel they can do is sell their subscriber burden to a decent competing publication and re-assign our sponsored subs in an orderly fashion.

On some days I am person number 2 and on others I am person number 3!

Bummer. I LOVE Shop etc.! I get that until 2013 too.



Anyone know what magazine replaced ElleGirl? I got that sub and havent gotten a replacement yet.

I really liked Shop Etc, too. Maybe that is why I am getting Cosmogirl. I was trying to figure out why I have a year to that.

i think you are a little of number one too, do not even try to lie about it.

Personally, If I like the magazine and I can't get for free. I buy it for lowest price possible.

Otherwise, I subscribe for free one I don't read and give it away.

I also subscribe it for my local library. My local library get FHM, Blender, Spin, Maxim, and Stuff too. One of the librarian told since they receiving the magazine, they got increase of patronage including increase in book borrowing. After 3 months, the library allows all magazines available to lend to patrons. They even making money from the magazines from late returns 25 cents a day to $4.00 for lost magazines.
