Conde' Nast Publications, the magazine giant which publishes such well-recognized titles as "Vogue," "Vanity Fair," "GQ" and "The New Yorker," has announced that it is closing "Gourmet," "Modern Bride" and "Elegant Bride," as part of a program aimed at cutting costs.
Like most magazine publishers, Conde' Nast has seen a sharp decline in advertising revenue amidst the current economic downturn.
The closing of the three magazines will result in the layoff of about 180 people. It will also give me back six hours of my week, and leave a huge void in my reading portfolio.
Seriously, the next time you're at a wedding, and the bride is old-fashioned and frumpy, and the food is terrible, just blame the economy.
