Final issues and first issues in the magazine business in 2017

Magazines come and go. Here’s a look at some magazines that had their final issues in 2017 and a few that premiered this year.

Popular Photography magazine ended its 80-year run with its March-April 2017 issue.

Surfing magazine ended its 53-year run in January. Owner TEN: The Enthusiast Network folded the digital assets of Surfing magazine into sister publication Surfer.

Self magazine, owned by Conde Nast, ended its 38-year run as a print monthly with its February issue. It was converted to a digital-only publication.

Conde Nast also shuttered Teen Vogue after 15 years. Its final issue was the December 2017 edition.

The closing of Teen Vogue came one month after Nylon magazine, another favorite among young readers, published its final print edition.
