Condé Nast Shutters Self Magazine
The New York Times • • world
Key Points:
- Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch announced the closure of Self magazine after nearly 50 years, citing shifts in audience behavior and the impact of generative AI on web traffic.
- Self, which has been online-only since 2017, will be discontinued, with its health and wellness content integrated into other Condé Nast brands like Allure and Glamour.
- Glamour will shut down its international editions in Germany, Spain, and Mexico, focusing instead on the U.S. and U.K. markets with an emphasis on social and video content, while its longtime editor Samantha Barry will depart.
- Wired will cease its print edition in Italy due to underperformance, though it will continue publishing in other regions including the U.S., Japan, the Czech Republic, and the Middle East.
- These closures represent a small portion of Condé Nast’s revenue but are part of a strategic effort to cut unprofitable operations and invest in areas with greater growth potential.
