Associated Media Publishing shuts down permanently
The South African publisher of Cosmopolitan, House & Leisure and other magazine titles is shutting down permanently tomorrow.
In a statement released by Associated Media Publishing today, CEO Julia Raphaely says they've had to cease publishing and to distribute it's titles, despite every effort to battle the devastating economic impact of COVID-19.
This includes a global halt on advertising spend and their inability to host events for the foreseeable future.
"This is the most difficult decision I have ever had to make... It is a big blow for magazine media brands in South Africa as they hold a special place in our country. We never thought this day would come, but we were left with no choice."
AMP has served the South African print media landscape for the last 38 years.
