NEW YORK Against a backdrop of rising costs and declining ad pages across the industry, Hearst Magazines said it would close third-place CosmoGirl with the December issue.
The title is the second that Hearst has folded this year; company president Cathie Black, who made the CosmoGirl announcement in an internal e-mail today, earlier this year shuttered Quick & Simple, a weekly women’s service title.
CosmoGirl publisher Vicki Wellington was reassigned to helm Hearst’s new Food Network Magazine, which launches in November, while editor Susan Schulz will stay on at Hearst to work on special projects.
