ESPN said on Tuesday that the company would be ending its run of ESPN The Magazine is September. The publication has been in print since 1998, with editorial staffers expected to stay with the company. “Consumer habits are evolving rapidly, and this requires ESPN to evolve as well,” the company said in a statement to Variety. “The only change here is that we are moving away from printing it on paper and sending it in the mail, following September’s release of ‘The Body’ Issue. Our data shows the vast majority of readers already consume our print journalism on digital platforms, and this approach will maximize our reach and impact. In the future, we will explore releasing tentpole collections such as ‘Body’ in special, differentiated print formats.” THE MAIN EVENT
