Jobs axed with American FHM

This article is about how FHM has stopped making its US edition. Emap blamed it on the deteriorating US trading conditions. Around 40 staff will lose their jobs but the US webpage will keep running. This wont effect the FHM magazines in the U.K or any of the other 30 countries it’s sold in. The March edition of the US FHM will be its last when it goes on sale in the New Year.

FHM's US edition is also the biggest-selling of any of the 30 versions of the title around the world. This means it will have a significant effect on the whole company.

Opinion

This is surprising as FHM in the US is bigger then any of the other 30 countries. This is their main source of income and popularity. Without this FHM could be doomed and things could only get worse. This could be the start of a on going change in society, maybe men are looking differently upon certain issues. I personally don’t think it’s going to happen, it’s just given the other magazine companies an opportunity to increase their sales and become as successful or more successful as FHM.
