Hearst Magazines has folded Cosmogirl. December will be the final issue. Editor in chief Susan Schulz will remain with the company. It's the second Hearst title to fold this year; Quick & Simple went over the summer.

Statement: Hearst Magazines has made a strategic decision to consolidate its teen publishing activities into Seventeen, the largest-selling monthly teen magazine on newsstands. Effective with the December issue, CosmoGirl will cease as a print magazine, remaining online only at cosmogirl.com. CosmoGirl's subscriber base will be folded into Seventeen.

We are proud of our leadership in the teen category and remain committed to this audience. We will continue to publish Seventeen and its annual Seventeen PROM issue as well as focus on the Hearst Teen Network of websites, which includes Cosmogirl.com, Seventeen.com, Teenmag.com, eSpin.com, MyPromStyle.com, and MisQuinceMag.com. Hearst's Teen Network of sites ranks in the top 10 trafficked entertainment sites on the Web, according to Comscore.

CosmoGirl's Editor-in-Chief Susan Schulz will be staying on at Hearst to work on special projects. Publisher Vicki Wellington will become publisher of Food Network Magazine, which officially rolls out in 2009.

I bought CosmoGirl. I'm also 22 right now, but I did buy it when I was a teenager. I still like Seventeen also, but I don't purchase the magazines anymore. College keeps me occupied.

There was nothing GIRLISH about Cosmo Girl...it was just a smaller (size wise) edition of Cosmopolitan.

It was a deceptive marketing gimmick and deserved to fold!

It was about nothing. Why would a teenager buy it? The entire concept of a teenage Cosmo girl mag is something from the 70s -- sort of like the management at Hearst Magazines.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, IMO.

I've taught middle school and teach high school and I can't believe the trash that young woman are subjected to by these magazines.

Young girls should be taught to be proud of what and who they are, not told how bad they are.
