New Woman and First axed

[Media Boy]

Bauer Consumer Media today axed New Woman and First magazines, just two months after buying the former Emap consumer titles in a £1.14bn deal.

"Today Bauer Consumer Media (formerly Emap Consumer Media) has announced the suspension of NW (New Woman) and First, whilst we enter a month-long period of consultation with editorial staff," said Marcus Rich, the group managing director of Bauer Advertising and Bauer London lifestyle magazines.

Neither magazine is expected to survive past the consultation process and Bauer made no statement about possibly redundancies.

First is a weekly, while New Woman is a monthly title. German media company H Bauer bought Emap's radio and consumer magazine portfolio, which also includes Heat and FHM, in a £1.14bn deal in December.
