American Heritage Suspends Print Edition
By Frederick E. Allen
American Heritage, the nation’s preeminent magazine of history and the parent of this website, has stopped publication, at least temporarily, with the April/May 2007 issue, now on newsstands. The website will continue to publish.
American Heritage, a bimonthly, was founded in 1954. It was bought by Forbes Inc. in 1986 and has suffered financially in recent years amid hard times for magazines in general. Forbes put it up for sale earlier this year and has not yet found a buyer.
A full account of the magazine’s situation, ”Magazine Suspends Its Run in History,” can be found in today’s New York Times.
—Frederick E. Allen is the editor of AmericanHeritage.com and the managing editor of American Heritage.
