Robert Kennedy Publishing is no more

[lotusgirl]

This reminds me of when Whole Living stopped publishing back in the winter. No notice from the publisher, MarthaStewart.com. No switch to another publication. I had a few years left on my subscription, and I really enjoyed the magazine. I'm very disappointed with how they handled it and will never buy any Martha Stewart products. I was a longtime subscriber to Whole Living before it was acquired by MS.

Wow. There was no indication that the business was going under- I'm so glad I didn't plunk down more money to renew my Oxygen e-magazine through iTunes.

To the poster who asked about Robert's illness - I believe he was sick for a little while. I mean, it might have been unexpected that he got sick...but I think she had a decent amount of time to know that he would be "going" soon.

Also, I did not know that Whole Living quit publishing! I used to subscribe then I started not really liking the mag at all. I think I got my last issue in Sept or Oct and I tossed my renewal notice in the trash. Glad I did.

I kind of feel like magazines are a waste of money. I subscribed to People StyleWatch and InStyle (OT from fitness, i know) and now I just find myself getting depressed when I read them because I'm not as pretty/fashionable/rich/creative/whatever to have outfits like those!

My Oxygen subscription was up in October and I wasn't going to renew, so this saves me the trouble. Sounds like Tosca handled the closing in a very unprofessional manner and that's disappointing.

Everyday Food got cancelled as well (another MS magazine). I also lost out as I had renewed not long ago!

mercdees-I subscribed to Everyday Food, and they switched my subscription to Martha Stewart Living (which I'm not into at all) to fill the rest of the issues I had left.

Thanks, Sherry.

I def. think magazines are a waste of money. I used to read several of them when I was young and poor, and they only succeeded in making me highly discontented and poorer from having bought them!

Clean Eating, however, is the only magazine I have really, really enjoyed and gotten a lot of use out of. I'll try to post more recipes in the recipe box for the benefit of the VF masses.

Yep. I used to subscribe to Glamour, Cosmo, and a few other magazines way back when. I stopped because I realized I would never be good enough for them- meaning the magazine industry. Seriously, when does the quest for self-improvement end in their world? Their primary job is to prey on our insecurities so they can sell more magazines. Cosmo was especially annoying because I began to feel like they thought my only purpose on earth was to please my man in bed.

I still get 4 magazines but they're magazines that focus on goals I actually want to achieve (Garden Gate (creating a beautiful garden out of my unruly yard), Cuisine at Home (easy ideas for home-cooked meails), Natural Health (adopting a natural/organic lifestyle - although they can get a little nuts too with their "advice", and All You (for the coupons to save money).

OMG!! I am so happy I didn't renew my Oxygen subscription. It ended this month and I've been getting notices to renew for at least 3 months. Just didn't want to fork over the $30. I would have been beyond pissed if I had renewed and now they folded I will miss it tho
Just check the copy I got recently and it has a girl with a kettle bell on the cover (July issue) and the address label says July 01 2013. That ends my subscription. Thank God I didn't renew!
