Conde Nast to Close Gourmet magazine

Conde Nast plans to announce this morning that it will close Gourmet magazine, a magazine of almost biblical status in the food world; it has been published since December 1940.

This is just another sign that magazines will continue to close. The market was glutted, but it's still a sad sight to see.
