British Observer Sunday paper cuts three of its weekly magazines

The Observer, the Sunday paper of the Guardian News and Media Group in Britain is dropping three of its themed weekly magazines after a "strategic review". The review had led to some speculation that the money-losing paper itself might be closed (which management always denied). But in the end, Observer Music Monthly, Sport Monthly and Observer Women were cut.This, according to a story in Marketing Week.

The newspaper will now have four weekly sections – news, sport, an expanded review section and the weekly Observer magazine. Business coverage will be embraced by the main section of the publication.
