After 15 years in the business, women's mag Yen is closing, effective immediately.
The announcement was made via social media last week by the editorial team who said: "With a tear in our eye, we announce the latest and final issue of Yen goes on sale today."
They also highlighted the fact that the content in the last issue celebrates all things 'homegrown' and ended by thanking the readers and people who have supported the publication since it began in 2002.
As of yet, there has been no announcement by the magazine's publisher Next Media.
Here is Yen's farewell post in full:
"With a tear in our eye, we announce the latest and final issue of Yen goes on sale today. We’re proud to go out on a high note, with an issue that emulates all that has gone before it and celebrates all the good things in our own backyard. There’s homegrown fashion and beauty, artist @frances_cannon's Self Love Club and a guide to lost treasure. Plus we chat to a bunch of comedians, dancers, artists and charity heroes. Lastly, and most importantly, we want to thank you, the reader, for your lovely letters, your input, for subscribing or picking us up at the newsagency, for reading us online and for being part of the Yen community. So long and thanks!
