Saturday Evening Post Will Stop Printing After 205 Years

The New York Times · Benjamin Mullin · last updated

The Saturday Evening Post’s January issue will be its last in print, The New York Times reports. Joan SerVaas, president and publisher of the Post, announced the turn from print in a letter to the magazine’s 50,000 subscribers in the latest issue, blaming it on “rising production costs, declining advertising revenue and shifting reader habits.” The Post will continue to publish new fiction and non-fiction online, and will maintain its archive. 

For more than two centuries, The Saturday Evening Post has chronicled American life in its pages, enshrining a homespun national identity and printing some of the nation’s greatest writers.

That’s changing next year.
