Permalink Closed

Blueprint (the magazine) has died. RIP. This is the first time ever that a magazine that I subscribed to has folded and I'm a little upset. Apparently it's just being rolled into Martha Stewarts Weddings magazine...seriously. I'll be damned if I'm going to be getting a Weddings mag in the mail. Or any other MS magazine for that matter.

I checked the Blueprint website and nothing's up about it yet. But memo's have been circulated and rumors are a-flying on the media blogs that I read.

Hopefully nobody on here was thinking about this for thier Secret Santa's!

I hope this isn't true!  It's a fabulous magazine!  Another reason why I buy at the stand instead of subscribing, I'm sure 99% of the people who buy Blueprint would not want a weddings magazine.

Dammit.  I wonder why I couldn't find it.  I have never opened a page of the magazine but wanted to try it out for holiday decorating ideas.

This article mentions something about a digital version remaining but it sucks that the printed one won't be done anymore.

I read this earlier! I can't believe this, especially right after House & Garden announced that they are shutting down.

This is the first time I'm shocked a mag is shutting down. I had heard so many good things about it, I was considering subscribing soon. I was actually thinking of picking up the current issue w/some leftover GC balance I have for Barnes & Noble.

This is the information I have:

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia president (since November 2004) Susan Lyne announced Monday (December 10) that the two-year-old Blueprint is being folded in to Martha Stewart Weddings following Blueprint's January/February 2008 finale. Blueprint is being turned into "special interest issues" going to MSW's circa 270,000 circulation.

The announcement said that Blueprint publisher (since January 2008) Amy Wilkins, founding editor-in-chief (May 2006) Sarah Humphreys will be working on the new project.

News follows Women's Wear Daily's reporting of MSLO layoffs on Friday.

More updates later on this story as news comes in.
