Time Out Hong Kong axes print magazine, becomes digital-only platform

Lifestyle publication Time Out Hong Kong is reportedly axing its print magazine and becoming an online-only platform, effective immediately.

An unnamed staff member told trade publication Marketing Interactive that issue 225 of Time Out Hong Kong, published yesterday, would be the last edition of the print magazine. 

An email notice to a business partner, viewed by Marketing Interactive, said that Rubicon Communications, the magazine’s publisher, would no longer be managing Time Out Hong Kong as of March. According to the email, the publication would focus on its website “in view of changing reading habits of our audience and in line with Time Out Group’s digital strategy worldwide”. 

The international lifestyle magazine, which began as a one-page events listing in London in 1968, currently operates in 107 cities in 39 countries across the world. The Hong Kong edition was launched in 2008.
