Your Child to close
The latest casualty of the current tough financial market is Your Child magazine. Media 24's parenting division, Alchemy Publishing, announced late this afternoon, Wednesday, 12 November 2008, that the last issue will be published in January 2009.
According to a press statement, the decision was announced to the staff at the end of last week and the final publishing date was finalised earlier today.
“The magazine market as a whole has been going through tough times and especially niche magazines felt the pressure. While battling to hang on to their homes, magazines have become a luxury item for many South African families,” said Terena le Roux, Media24 publisher for the Alchemy titles.
“Even though Your Child will live on on the Your Parenting website [www.yourparenting.co.za], we've decided to discontinue publishing the magazine.”
The magazine was launched in September 2005 as a quarterly.
