US News & World Report to Cease Print Edition
ABC News reports:
U.S. News & World Report magazine is going to stop sending its monthly print edition to subscribers next year and go mostly online.
Brian Kelly, the magazine's editor, outlined the changes in a memo sent to staff on Friday.
In the memo, Kelly said the December issue will be the last monthly issue sent to subscribers. Monthly print versions will continue to be available at newsstands, and it will continue to publish occasional guides on colleges, history, personal finance and other topics. Its content will continue to be available at USNews.com, which has 9 million visitors a month.
Kelly told The New York Times that the move won't result in more layoffs.
U.S. Media News Group president Bill Holiber said on the magazine's website that the decision "allows us to continue to grow our online business" and take advantage of new distribution platforms.
