GuardianMedia has today reported that Bauer Consumer Media will be axing First and New Woman Magazine. The article claims around 49 journalists risk losing their jobs due to the closures, which begs the question did anyone see this coming?
New Woman's circulation figures have fallen by 45.3% since 2006, so it is obvious the re-branding in to NW 2 years ago did not provide the miracle the magazine needed. My sympathies go out to anyone who is losing their job due to these closures and I hope the decline of readership is not something which affects all women's magazines.
