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.”

Screw you, Conde Crap! Jane was the only decent magazine you had. I can pick up an issue of Glamour from ten years ago and it will have the same boring crap (almost verbatim) about how to starve yourself or please you man that it has in its current issue. Shame on you.

What the heck! I just got my card reading “You will receive Glamour istead of Jane for the remainder of your subscription.” I can’t believe a magazine that seems like such a force to be reckoned with (have you read the writing in that magazine? Those women sound like they have balls) can just fold like that. It stinks. Jane really was unique and irreverent. However…I had noticed more and more how designer fashion- and makeup-obsessed Jane was becoming in recent months, and that annoyed me. So did some of their deceptive cover headlines. And some of their choices of cover girls (Zooey Deschanel? That’s a woman who belongs on Jane’s cover. Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff, Jessica Simpson…not so much). Anyway, I am still disappointed. Even if Jane had kind of sold out, they were still better than a lot of magazines out there.

I am disapointed to hear that JANE Mag will be no more! This was the only magazine that I actually cared to read from Cover to Cover. I am going to miss the more intelligent side of Womens Magazine articles that came from JANE. All of the other competing magazines only have the same articles about how to please a Man in bed over & over & over & Over again!
Farewell JANE Mag! :(

Dear lord. Jane magazine was amazing! It was like my comfort zone. I would get one on the way home from work, and just relax for forty five minutes. I would read that thing from front to back. I loved Jane. And im so sad to see it go. I guess the reason it failed is that most people are dumb. And it ended so fast! Its like in never exsisted. so, goodbye Jane. Thanks for everything. Your loyal readers will never forget you.
