THIS JUST IN: Jane Magazine Folds

Condé Nast have decided to fold 10-year old Jane magazine. Staffers were informed this morning of this decision. Started in September 1997 by Jane Pratt, Jane was intended to be the replacement for the irreverent Sassy (also start by Jane Pratt). Pratt was forced out of Jane in 2005 as advertising sales and circulation floundered. Pratt was replaced by Brandon Holley of Elle Girl and turned Jane from a forward-thinking young woman’s black book to a yet another ad-filled, trite, yawn-worthy piece of newsstand crap. And apparently the general public agrees with me on this.

RIP Jane, you had a good run too bad Holley filled your last days with blowjob tips and get-skinny-quick diet pill ads. You truly deserved better.
