Glamour is owned by global media company Conde Nast which this week took to closing down its health and wellness magazine Self after half a century, with company chief Roger Lynch telling workers that changes were being made \u201cfor continued growth\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mr Lynch penned an open letter to employees which revealed the organisation has \u201cexceeded\u201d expectations of revenue and profitability in the first quarter of 2026, but that magazines Self, Glamour as well as Wired together account for 1pc of Conde Nast\u2019s overall revenue, and that they are \u201cunprofitable\u201d in their current state.<\/p>\n
Mr Lynch added that Glamour magazine\u2019s operations in Germany, Spain and Mexico will be wound down as part of the business\u2019 repositioning in the market.<\/p>\n
With regard to Self specifically, the chief put the decision down to a \u201cshift\u201d in audience taste while Wired\u2019s Italian publishing operations will ceased, but will remain active in consulting and events across Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She has been working at Glamour since 2018, becoming its first editorial director in 2024 after previosly working…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404322,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,292,61,542,60,1286,2846],"class_list":{"0":"post-404321","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-germany","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-instagram","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-keith-kelly","14":"tag-spain"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404321"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404321\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
