Bonnier Killing Print Magazines

Bonnier USA CEO Eric Zinczenko

Bonnier Corp is getting out of the collapsing print business with its travel magazines. The company said it will shut down the print editions of Islands magazine, Destination Weddings & Honeymoons and Caribbean Travel & Life magazines. As a result, over a dozen staffers will lose their jobs.

The magazines were being run on a shoestring budget under Editorial Director Shawn Bean — who heads all the outdoor magazines that operate out of Bonnier’s Winter Park, Fla., base — and the corporate brand manager, Matt Hickman. They undertook a major redesign of the magazines earlier this year, but it was not enough to lure back advertisers in the hard-hit travel category.
