McClatchy is shutting four titles In Touch, Life & Style, First for Women, and Closer. 

The final editions of the periodicals will appear between June 20 and 27, said Julie Pendley, a McClatchy spokesperson, in a statement to Hollywood Reporter.  

The staffs will reportedly also be eliminated.  

“Despite the best efforts of many of our talented colleagues, we have been unable to develop a profitable business model for four of our magazine titles,” Pendley said.  

Pendley added: "We are grateful for the meaningful contributions of the affected employees and are providing support during the transition."

The celebrity-oriented publications, In Touch and Life & Style, were taken over by McClatchy when it acquired owner A360 Media in 2024.
