CosmoGirl Folds!!!
Hearst Magazines’s CosmoGirl is being shut down, reports WWD.
The teenage spin-off of Cosmopolitan, which targeted teenage girls and featured fashion and celebrities, will finish off with its December issue. (Scarlett Johansson was just featured on its November 2008 cover.)
CosmoGirl’s subscriber base will be folded into fellow Hearst title Seventeen.
Editor in chief Susan Schulz will be “staying on at Hearst to work on special projects.”
All of these poor teen titles!

omg. No.. wait I dont care.
okay
lol no one really cares….with teens…its basically just Teen Vogue that has the strong base…and Seventeen…other than that its just the tween mags…
Heeey, i’m saad. My sister’s subscribed to that magazine and I sometimes read it too. They tend to have some nice real life stories of sturggle and survival for young girls that I really liked. In fact some of them scared you off so much that you wouldn’t even want to leave your house or be in a 5 mile radius of a male organism.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS MAGAZINE!
I WILL MISS IT SO MUCH.
R.I.P
Thank goodness!! Teach girls to be educated and athletic. Most of that magazine was materialistic fluff.
That’s sad. I used to love CosmoGirl. But once I got to college, I stopped buying all those magazines. I think in the late 90s early 00’s they were really great… and alot of my friends and I bought it.. but now, everything is online, so no one really cares.
Seventeen has been out FOREVER and will continue being one of the top top late teen-early 20s magazines!
being a subsriber of this magazine, this honestly doesn’t bother me a bit or shock me for that matter. this magazine was actually really boring to me and it seemed like it was just another seventeen magazine, just crappier.
wow!
that’s crazy!!!
I didnt think they would shut down!!!
teen vogue and seventeen are better
people lost jobs…this is sad. shame on all of you that think this is just about the teen viewership. this is not good for the people involved and the greater good of our current financial situation of the world.
My question becomes what happens if you have a subscription to the magazine that runs longer than December? and are already a subscriber to Seventeen? Does this mean i’ll get my money bacK??
Shocking, with covers like this one.
LOL . . comment #1
There are too many mags out there pretty much with the same content, so this one had to go. I don’t really care, but Seventeen is better I believe.
omg NO dont stop making it! i love this magazine <3 : (
whoa

whoa
That Sucks
Oh well……..
noooooo
aw gee whiz, does this mean teenage sex and child exploitation is coming to an end? Shocking, wonder how many grown men will have to find a new magazine now.
Scarlett Johansson (actress)actually is a clone from original person,who has nothing with acting career.Clone was created from stolen biomaterial.Original Scarlett Galabekian last name is nice,CHRISTIAN young lady.Clones(not 1)made in GERMANY,leader manufacturer of humans clones,it’s in Ludwigshafen am Rhein,N.Bavaria,Mr.Helmut Kohl home town,they spreading globaly NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled,be careful get close you’ll be controlled too.Original family didn’t authorize activity with stolen biomaterials,it’s all should go to Cedars-Sinai MedCenter in LA.Controlling clones is US military operation.Original Scarlett wasnt engage,by the wy
Wow.

I like this magazine but I like Seventeen and Teen Vogue more
oh ****. I DID like it =( &i don’t like seventeen. nor teenvogue.
OMG NO.
i just subscribed 3 months ago.
:(
And I am already a Seventeen subscriber.
I guess I need to subscribe to Teen Vogue.
BUT THIS IS SO SAD.
:[
omg wtf???
this is so sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! i cant believe it…
… ill miss u soooo much, noooooooooooooooooo!
i’m really annoyed with this..
cosmogirl has a way better layout than seventeen and teenvogue.
plus the whole thing is about more than clothes ang guys. It’s a little bit of teenage life in a magazine.
seventeen is hair and guys. cosmogirl was all about self-respect, safe sex, and sisterhood.
disappointing…
=(
