NEWS: Weekly World News Closing, Aliens Not Blammed

Our waits in the supermarket line are about to change forever. Even this supermarket employee won't be able to have the laughs at the stupid things seen on the covers of Weekly News Magazine. Why, you might be asking. If you haven't already heard (or even if you have), I am going to tell you.

The tabloid’s publisher, American Media Inc., issued a brief statement that announced the Aug. 27 issue would be Weekly World News’ last. It called the closure necessary “due to the challenges in the retail and wholesale magazine marketplace that have impacted the newsstand.”

The company whose Boca Raton offices was the victem of deadly anthrax mailings killing a photographer back in 2001, said that Weekly World News was the smallest of all it's publications and was the only one to be discontinued, although they plan to continue the online version.
Their other publications, which include the Star, National Enquirer and Men’s Fitness, will not be affected.
