OK! Makes Odd Change to Printing Schedule to Save Money

American Media Inc. (AMI) is taking an unusual step to save some cash on OK!, its celebrity gossip rag. According to WWD, the magazine will now close almost a week before it hits newsstands, a move that sources say has allowed the magazine to emerge from the red for the first time in years. The new schedule — it closes on Thursdays and hits newsstands the following Wednesday — might help the magazine for now, but that’s a huge gap, and celebrities tend to do a lot of stupid things during the weekend.

A Spokesperson for OK! denied that the title would be missing out on anything, insisting that the change was necessary and smart.
