Jane Magazine Folds
Another magazine bites the dust — Jane magazine has folded!
Conde Nast Publications pulled the plug on the monthly mag today after staffers were told the news this morning. Its last issue will be its August issue. The mag’s official website janemag.com will also be shutting down.
Gawker reports, “It’s done, everyone is packing up and has to be out today.”
Charles H. Townsend, President & CEO of Condé Nast, added “This was a very difficult decision for us. We worked diligently to make Jane a success. However, we have come to believe that the magazine and website will not fulfill our long-term business expectations.”

i never like that magazine anyways.
awwwwwwwwwwwww—who cares?——-not meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Why is life so boring without Brangelina on the news?
Rutrow ..
I care. It was one of the only magazines that had more than “How to get a guy to like you by starving yourself and being a sex object”. I will be sad.

Cause you’re obsessed like me! LOL.
I really liked Jane. It was a very good magazine. No celebrity crap. No Hilton, or Richie. Nice editorials. Good stories, and realistic fashion. Nice reviews of music and books.
It was a very smart Magazine and it will be missed. I read it and Women’s Wear Daily,Elle and the occasional Allure. W on months when a celebrity is NOT gracing the cover.
Sad…
^^ LOL! I need a fix too.
^^LOL, I hear ya! It’s defintely been a while, huh?
Gah, I meant definetly. Ah well.
I’ll miss Jane too. Sad how tabloids and blogs keep reproducing like a gazilion rabbits, and more sustantive yet fun mags aren’t getting the support from us readers.
Tabloids dumb down peiple’s thinking; and appeal to the worst in us by passing off lies, slurs, slander, scandal and libel as truth. We lap it up because gee, it’s fun to be a malicious hater-*****. Then tabloids give us more of the same garbage and worse, and it goes on and on. Please, when will it all stop? How can we make it stop?
yeah.. bring brangelina and the kids back!!
AAAAAWWWWWW TOO BAD!!! JANE WAS GREAT!!
I always get Jane Magazine and Genre mixed up.
I assume Jane with go to mag rag heaven where it can hang with Rosie.
Look for my new magazine coming out soon called POPPERS

I SWEARRRR I’LL HAVE A YEYO!!!
IF U DON’T GIVE ME A BRANGELINA LINE JAREDD
I’M SERIOUSSS…
I NEED MY DRUGGG
11 the celebrity hating and slander will never cease. So by default, tabloids will always exist because famous celebrities and hollywood stars are not actually people in our eyes and they only exist for our amusement.
Since they are not people, their feelings no longer count so it’s perfectly acceptable to tear them apart. In exchange for a sh*tload of cash and some adoration, they have to relinquish their right to privacy. It’s a good bargain if you ask me and if you really value your craft and don’t seek fame then go act on Broadway or to Panto or sing songs on the subway or music clubs. If you want fame and money then be prepared for privacy invasion and vilification from the public.
It’s not nice, buts thats reality
I need more Brangelina news!!!!!!
I tried to read Jane but I could never get into it. I think maybe it was too cool for me. I always loved Sassy as a teenager, and Jane had basically the same staff. At least it did when it was starting out. Yet the same magic was never there…
It was a good magazine
But commenter #7
both nicole and paris have been on the cover before
but maybe you mean Jane doesnt talk about them every month
Hahaha… um… Jane? Never heard of it.
To Yari(15)
You are so funny. Ya, I need my drugg as well, bring us BAMPZS.
Loved Jane when it had indie cred–which, ummm, kinda negates it being indie I guess. The last year or so it was bought by a stereotypical women’s mag company and went downhill fast. Don’t need another Glamour or Cosmo. I’m not surprised.
SASSY MAG= so cool
JANE MAG= pointless
There was a story on a journalist who traveled into war zones and around the world. The title was something like, “The Hair Products I Use When I Travel.” Ugh.
Bring back SASSY! That was a great mag! Oh the memories!
OT, but Jared, the reason I love your page and tell all my friends about it, is because you DON’T only report on the same 4 celebs all the time. If I wanted to read about Paris/Lindsey/Posh/Brangelina - I would read some other page that ONLY covers them. Love you, man!
OMG how did I miss this?! I LOVED Jane! I guess that’s why I haven’t been getting any issues lately, hmmm?
Anyhow, Jane was getting a bit full of herself and I think once they changed formats was when I started tuning out. Too bad, hopefully something cool will come along to take its place. And hopefully we’ll get it in Nebraska.
Sigh.
