The Bulletin closes

AUSTRALIA'S oldest news magazine, The Bulletin, has been closed after more than a century of publishing. ACP announced the closure of the magazine, launched in 1880, this morning, saying it had become unsustainable with sales of just 57,000. The Bulletin has had a cloud over its future for a number of years but failed bring circulation back to highs of over 100,000 enjoyed in the mid-1990s. Speculation has been rife that the magazine could continue in an online format, but that was rejected by executives.
