Hearst Magazines UK has closed Cosmopolitan Bride and women's lifestyle title She, following the completion of a portfolio review sparked by the $651m acquisition of rival brands including Elle and Red.
In an email to staff Arnaud de Puyfontaine, the chief executive of Hearst Magazines UK, said both titles would be closed with immediate effect and that he would "endeavour" to find new roles in the expanded company for staff affected. "As a business that believes strongly in the future of print, it is never an easy decision to close a magazine and we have looked long and hard at all options," he said. "However, we are taking this decisive action now to strengthen our overall portfolio, focusing our investment on our stronger titles and digital expansion". |
