_Its just been announced, after 22 yeears, the 'Brother' magazine, to the iconic 'Face' has been 'suspended' with the last issue out on March 14th This is a shame as over the years, it has had great moments. According to Bauer, Homme Plus is staying on, as are the international editions of the magazine (Ukraine, Turkey, Denmark, Korea, Singapore, Thailand), so there is a potential it will be revived in the future. Arena was founded in 1986 by Nick Logan, (the same guy who set up The Face). He sold Arena and The Face to emap in 1999, and this was later bought out by German publishing powerhaus Bauer. It's had a difficult few years recently, lost in the space between the weekly lads mag and GQ. Still a great brand though, with a great history of Editors and photographers working for the mag. I certainly know how difficult publishing is at the moment. Lets hope they can work something out in the future, my condolences to all friends and ex colleagues who have lost thier jobs.
