Women's magazine to scrap print edition after 36 years

Women's magazine Company is to cease publication next month after 36 years, with the title becoming online-only.

The last print issue of the mag, which is aimed at the younger end of the market and whose recent cover stars have included Chloe Grace Moretz and Zooey Deschanel, will go on sale on September 5.

The title, like many magazines, has seen an ongoing fall in circulation with a year on year decline of 31.8% according to recent figures.

It sold an average of 88,000 copies of each issue, according to figures for the second half of last year.

Publisher Hearst said that the move to being solely online "will allow Company to focus its editorial efforts on supporting the desires of its 16-24 year-old female audience through its award-winning digital properties".
