McClatchy to shutter celebrity magazines In Touch, Life & Style
The newsstands at supermarket checkout lanes might soon start looking sparser, or at least different, as mainstay gossip and celebrity magazines In Touch Weekly and Life & Style are set to shut down in late June. Their parent company, McClatchy, announced Friday that the two magazines, which helped define celebrity tabloid culture in the 2000s, are getting axed along with two other titles and their respective staffs.

In Touch, Life & Style, Closer and First for Women Shutter as All Staff Are Laid Off
A number of women's lifestyle and entertainment magazine publications from McClatchy Media Company are shuttering and laying off their entire staffs. In Touch, Life & Style, Closer and First for Women are ceasing operation by the end of June, the parent company informed staffers Friday. It's unclear just how many employees across all four brands were impacted by McClatchy's gutting of the entertainment brands. Other outlets owned by the media company include newspapers The Kansas City Star, Miami Herald, The Sacramento Bee, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and The Charlotte Observer. They also own Us Weekly, which was acquired as part of the accelerate360 merger that In Touch, Life & Style, Closer and First for Women were also a part of. 'Despite the best efforts of many of our talented colleagues, we have been unable to develop a profitable business model for four of our magazine titles. First for Women, In Touch, Life & Style and Closer will publish their final editions between June 20 and 27,' McClatchy spokesperson Julie Pendley said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, which first broke the news Friday. 'We are grateful for the meaningful contributions of the affected employees and are providing support during the transition.' McClatchy did not respond to TheWrap's request for further comment. The announcement is just the latest in a continuingly tumultuous time for news media. In the same week, Business Insider informed it's staff that they would experience a 21% workforce reduction as they look to pivot more to AI uses in the newsroom. 'We are reducing the size of our organization, a move that will impact about 21% of our colleagues and touch every department,' Business Insider CEO Barbara Peng wrote. 'We're also proposing changes that impact our U.K. team, but the process is a bit different there; separate communication will follow.' Going forward, Business Insider will be launching events coverage, 'fully embracing AI' and reducing their reliance on 'traffic-sensitive businesses.'

Snakes, pollen, wildfires: 8 stories on how to stay safe in NC this summer
Stories by News & Observer journalists, with AI summarization Snakes, pollen, and wildfires are all safety concerns for North Carolinians during the summer. Venomous copperheads are common in central and eastern parts of the state, with copperhead bites sometimes requiring costly antivenom treatment.

Can you afford a home in Florida? Here's what to know
South Florida Can you afford a home in Florida? Here's what to know Florida's housing market is becoming more expensive and hard to access, especially in major cities like Miami.
