The Los Angeles Times said its Sunday magazine, facing tough challenges, will cease publication.
LA, Los Angeles Times Magazine will print its final issue June 3, Kathy K. Thomson, president and chief operating officer, said in an email Tuesday to employees.
The magazine came out weekly until 2008, when the paper's editorial department stopped publishing it. The Los Angeles Times Media Group then put out the magazine in a monthly format.
"The entire magazine industry has been faced with a very challenging environment," Thomson wrote. "We are not immune to the challenges."
In 2010, U.S. News & World Report switched to a digital-only format, and Portfolio, a glossy Conde Nast business magazine, folded in 2009. A website, Magazine Death Pool, even popped up to track the closures.

“Everyone here can write/predict the headlines:
Unemployment at Historical Highs
Homeless in Record Numbers
Food Banks Plead for Donations
Children Starving - Republican Dont Care
War on Women - Government Randomly Shooting Mother”
Yep, the day after the election, the alphabet networks will once again start running daily counters showing gas prices, unemployment, etc. Just like they did when Bush was President (and stopped the second Obama was elected).
The only question is which goes bankrupt FIRST, the LA Times, or the City of Los Angeles..
I wonder if they will even wait until noon on Jan 20th 2013 to start those stories.
The muddled masses believe the day after the election is what’s what and if the Pubbies win House/Senate/White House I think you’ll start seeing those stories the day after the elections.
Screw them. Glad to save the trees. One less place for a liberal to work.
