Why did Life (magazine) stop publishing?
Posted by Caspian Wainwright in History and Culture Websites
Life magazine, a popular weekly publication filled with photos and stories, ceased publication in 1972 after 36 years. The magazine was initially founded to tell the stories of the people around the world, but as television and other forms of media began to take hold, Life's circulation dropped. The magazine attempted to adapt and reinvent itself, but with the rising costs of production, the publication was no longer profitable and was forced to close. Ultimately, Life magazine was a victim of changing times and the evolution of media.
