RIP: Skateboarder Magazine.
What a bad news!
“GrindMedia today announced that Skateboarder magazine will discontinue regular frequency publishing on print and digital platforms effective Oct. 15, 2013. This week Skateboarder will release its third digital edition and companion limited edition print version, which will be its final edition.
“Unfortunately market conditions have forced us to have to make the difficult decision to cease publication of Skateboarder,” said Norb Garrett, SVP Group Publisher of GrindMedia. “It’s especially disappointing given the strong interest and initial success we’ve had with the new digitally focused editions; our Skateboarder team has worked incredibly hard producing a cutting-edge product that has been successful at reaching a larger audience online. We will take all of the learnings from Skateboarder’s efforts and apply them to TransWorld Skateboarding and our other brands as the digital model has demonstrated real promise.”
