After six years and 40 issues, The California Sunday Magazine is saying goodbye to print. The bimonthly title produced by parent company Pop-Up Magazine Productions, which in its relatively short life has garnered national acclaim for its design, photography and long-form feature writing, will cease its print edition and move forward as a primarily digital publication, editor-in-chief Douglas McGray said Sunday. In a letter posted to the magazine's website, McGray implied that the economic conditions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly an inability to hold events, like the touring "live magazine" show Pop-Up Magazine, had put the company in a position in which it was forced to make a sacrifice. "We’re facing the most difficult economic conditions of our lifetimes, especially for a small company that depends on live events and sponsorship," McGray wrote. "A big-circulation print magazine won’t be viable for us this year or next year, so it seems like the right time to evolve." McGray noted that California Sunday will live on, and that its "commitment to deeply reported stories, unforgettable photography, and beautiful design" will continue online and in other formats and integrations, such as the gallery exhibits in New York and Los Angeles that were created from the magazine's December 2018 issue. But it's not a stretch to say that the loss of the magazine's print edition is a loss for the medium as a whole. Since its launch in 2014, The California... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
