Condé Nast Closes Gourmet Magazine and Modern Bride

Modern BrideToday marks a sad day in publishing indeed. Condé Nast has announced the shuttering of Gourmet, the upscale cooking and travel glossy that has been in print for 68 years. Other titles in the fall out from the company’s recent cost restructuring evaluation include Cookie, Modern Bride and Elegant Bride.

According to the Modern Bride media kit, the magazine has been printed for six decades as well.

Brides, Condé’s flagship wedding title, will begin publishing monthly. While Gourmet’s website will remain up “at least through the end of the year,” according to Drew Schutte, senior vice president and chief revenue officer at Condé Nast Digital.

Good thing we don’t cook and have no intention of hearing wedding bells in our immediate future. We’re still really sad, though.
