Saturday Evening Post Ends 205-Year Print Run as Costs Rise and Ad Revenue Falls

1 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Sep 2

January 2027 will bring the final print issue of The Saturday Evening Post, ending a physical publication run that began in 1821.
50,000 subscribers were told the print shutdown reflects rising production costs, declining advertising revenue and shifting reader habits, which publisher Joan SerVaas said had strained the magazine for more than a decade.
The magazine will continue publishing new articles and fiction online, while its archives — including work by major writers and Norman Rockwell images — will remain preserved digitally.
The move closes another chapter for a title that already survived a 1969 shutdown and was revived after Beurt and Cory SerVaas took control and cut debt in the early 1970s.
