Tabloid’s print version to fold
From Times Wire Services
American Media Inc. said it would stop printing the Weekly World News, which for 28 years gleefully chronicled the exploits of alien babies, animal-human hybrids and dead celebrities.
The company said it would end the print version of the tabloid newspaper with the Aug. 27 issue but would maintain the online version (www.weeklyworldnews.com).
American Media is best known as the publisher of the National Enquirer. The Boca Raton, Fla., company said last month that it was exploring the sale of five of its 16 magazines.
