Teacher Magazine Ceases Publication

Editorial Projects in Education, the publisher of Education Week and Teacher Magazine, announced that it was ceasing publication of the magazine with the May/June issue.
Founded in 1989, Teacher was nominated for several National Magazine Awards for general excellence. Until last year, it was distributed to every public school in the United States. It had a circulation of 95,000.

The May/June issue is the last.

Despite the acclaim for its high-quality writing and engaging design, Teacher Magazine struggled to attract advertising. Last year, EPE “relaunched” the magazine to appeal to “teacher-leaders” with a new design and format, and enhanced and expanded editorial content.
But the nonprofit corporation described advertiser interest in the new-look publication as mixed, prompting the decision announced May 3.


Print periodicals of all types have struggled to attract advertising as more readers go online for news and information. The Bethesda, Md.-based EPE, like other publishers, has invested heavily in the Web, through its decade-old site, edweek.org.
