Re: Teen People

We regret to inform you that we are suspending publication of Teen
People magazine, effective with the September 2006 issue. We will
continue to invest in the brand through TeenPeople.com which shows
promise and growth. Teen People's groundbreaking launch in 1998 as a
magazine and website was an industry first, and one that we remain
proud of.

This decision was a difficult one because of the hard work of the
magazine's talented staff and the support of its many loyal readers.
We are taking immediate steps to place as many Teen People magazine
employees as possible within Time Inc.
