Oprah Is Shutting Down Her Magazine After 20 Years!
This isn't the end though...
O, The Magazine will close the print edition of the publication with the last printed magazine rolling out in December.
The first O magazine rolled off the presses on April 19th, 2000 with huge success! A representative says while the physical copies won’t be available, the brand will still very much be present “more digitally centric,” they say.
“This is a natural next step for the brand, which has grown to an online audience of 8 million, extending its voice and vision with video and social content. We will continue to invest in this platform as the brand grows and evolves into one that is more digitally centric.”
