Summary
- Self magazine ceases publication after 47 years, transitioning content.
- Wired's Italy edition and Glamour editions in three countries also closing.
- Company restructures technology teams due to AI advancement.
A prominent women's health magazine, after 47 years in publication, is being shuttered. Its parent company announced the decision, citing a lack of a viable digital future for the publication in its current format. Health and wellness content will now be integrated across other titles.
This closure is part of wider strategic shifts. Editions of Wired in Italy and Glamour in Germany, Spain, and Mexico are also being wound down. These combined entities represent a small fraction of overall revenue and are reportedly unprofitable.
Beyond editorial adjustments, the company is also undertaking internal restructuring. These changes are designed to enhance agility and collaboration within technology teams, driven by the rapid advancement and impact of artificial intelligence. This mirrors a trend of industry-wide consolidation and digital transformation.
