does anyone know what happened to the ym magazine?

Answer 1

It ceased publication in 2004. It was the second-oldest girls' magazine after Seventeen. It started publication in the late 1950s in a small digest-sized format under the title Young Miss. In the 1960s, the size was increased. The title was changed to Young & Modern in the late 1980s, and more recently to Your Magazine, though the abbreviation ym was the title by which it was commonly referred. It ceased publication in 2004 with the December/January issue featuring Usher. Subscribers received Teen Vogue subscriptions as a replacement.

Answer 2

YM had a lot of identity trouble over the years. The company that owned it - Gruner + Jahr - had a US division that was very much struggling with many mature titles (like Family Circle) as well as some very expensive acquisitions (Fast Company & Inc. magazines). They struggled for a long time with YM and were about to relaunch it yet again when it was decided that they would sell off their US assets and just focus on their European publishing (G+J is a division of Bertelsmann which also owns BMG Music label, the BMG Music Club, Columbia House DVD Club and all of the Bookspan & Doubleday bookclub properties.)

They sold YM to Conde Nast whom, while they bought the rights to the website, the magazine brand and the subscriber list, never intended to keep YM alive, but rather to supplement their newly launched magazineTeen Vogue. G+J USA also sold their mature titles to Meredith (which is a good fit) and their out of place business titles Fast Company and Inc. to an LLC.
