Bauer Media said: Launched in 1988 by Emap, more! is a well-loved brand which, throughout its impressive 25 year history, has touched, entertained and informed generations of young women in the UK.
The weekly title has constantly evolved in order to remain relevant to its audience, however in recent times has found the impact of the economic downturn increasingly challenging.
The decision to suspend publication has regrettably been made with effect from this week’s issue, published on Tuesday, 23 April.
Bauer Media Chief Executive, Paul Keenan commented: “The prospect of continuing challenging economic conditions has led us to reach this decision as the title has become unviable.
I greatly appreciate the outstanding efforts of Chantelle Horton and her talented more! team and I’m sure that everyone who has worked on more! over the years – many of whom have gone on to build fantastic careers - will be sorry to hear this news. more!’s sense of fun, cheekiness and irreverence will be missed.”
