Wired UK shifts to quarterly print schedule

Tech magazine Wired UK is dropping from a bimonthly to a quarterly print schedule, it has told subscribers, reports Bron Maher of Press Gazette.

Maher reports, “In a letter sent with copies of the January and February issue of the Condé Nast-owned magazine, the UK edition of the title also told readers that it had ‘gone global’ and would be ‘uniting our global newsroom into a single, powerful team.’

“The changes will go into effect beginning with the next issue of Wired UK. Subscriptions are to be extended ‘to ensure that you still receive the number of issues you were expecting in your current subscription period,’ the magazine said.

“Press Gazette understands there are no personnel changes planned at Wired UK as a result, although the news coincides with reports that Condé Nast has begun a new round of layoffs affecting several of its executives.”
