ESPN will cease publishing its flagship magazine in September, 21 years after it was launched.
ESPN the Magazine will cease print publication in September. By Ben Strauss Ben Strauss Sports and media reporter Email Bio Follow April 30 at 2:56 PM In the spring of 1998, ESPN launched a new magazine, with a cover featuring a series of young stars primed to take over their sports. Kobe Bryant led a cast that also included Alex Rodriguez, Kordell Stewart and Eric Lindros. The quartet stared straight ahead, steely-eyed, aside a headline that read, “Next” in big red letters.
“Consumer habits are evolving rapidly, and this requires ESPN to evolve as well,” the company said in a statement. “The only change here is that we are moving away from printing it on paper and sending it in the mail.” According to two sources with knowledge of the company’s plans, there will be no immediate layoffs. The expectation is that a small handful of people will be out of jobs come the fall. Those positions will likely be in printing, circulation and publishing, as editorial positions have been folded into other operations inside ESPN.
