Time to Halt Publication of Teen People, Maintain Website

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on July 26, 2006 - 5:38pm.

New York - Time Inc. announced on Tuesday that it will cease publication of its Teen People magazine, but will maintain and continue to invest in its website, the Associated Press reported. The company cited a challenging advertising market for the magazine, which launched in 1998 but has seen circulation fall off steadily in recent years; the Teen People website, conversely, was said to show "promise and growth."

How could they do this?

Having a subscription from teen people for almost three years now, has really made me think about a career in journalism. However, after reading the news about the company ceasing publication made my hopes tumble down the gutter--in 10 years from now will every magazine suddenly decide to quit publications and use the internet instead? I do NOT see how posting only a Teen People website will make the Time Inc. Company earn more money. All I have left to say say is that I feel horrible for all of those people who put so much of their inspiration and time into these issues for young girls like me just to end up without a job in the long run...

this sucks
