Conde Nast CEO Charles Townsend said Monday he was shutting down four magazines, including the awarding winning Gourmet, parenthood title Cookie and two of the companys bridal magazines, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride.
It was the biggest one-day bloodbath in the publishing companys 100-year history. Hundreds of people will be tossed out of work.
The company said it would keep the Gourmet cookbooks and television programming but shut the monthly magazine. Brides, the last surviving bridal book, will move to monthly from six times a year.
Industry sources had estimated that Conde Nast could lose $200 million this year.

I can see Frasier saddened by the demise of Gourmet and Niles snubbing him for it.

If something I see on Food Network or at a restaurant really appeals to me, I just do a Google (actually, Scroogle) search. You can find sites dedicated to types of food from shrimp to soups. Who needs to buy a magazine for ideas? If you want a recipe or some ideas look online...

Please Conde Nast, do NOT shut down
Wired Magazine. I really enjoy the print layout and the portability. I would hate having Wired only as a website.
ZiffDavis killed my PC Magazine and I'm still upset about that too!

“Gourmet used to be a fine magazine. But eventually it just became an arrogant listing of snooty restaurants and complex recipes that normal people wouldn’t bother with.”
Ding! We have a winner. Gourmet blew for actual cooking info.

Ive long been baffled by the survival of various Bride magazines.I have been baffled as to why someone would want a subscription to a bridal magazine.

This just clears the way for the quadruple issue of ‘Hope & Change Monthly’.

Like the New Yorker, it's a magazine to put on your coffee table so that visitors know that they aren't as cool as you. I thought that my 11 year old MacBook running Debian was for that.

Yes, I know. But just like the Wham songs that show up in my MP3 playlist, it’s an indulgence!

Does the Kenyan have 200 shovel-ready jobs for the Conde Nast liberals who will be getting the boot?

I called Conde Nast up today to read them the riot act over canceling Gourmet. It was founded in 1940.

No more Modern Bride? It’s a rite of passage for girls getting married... sigh. But I guess you can now watch Bridezilla for fashion and etiquette tips.
