Julie Balise blogs at the San Francisco Gate:
Macworld executive editor Dan Miller tweeted on Wednesday that the magazine's print edition is "going away," but its website will continue with a "reduced editorial staff."
Miller said he will remain with the company for a month to help with the transition.
Jason Snell, editorial director for Macworld, also announced his departure via Twitter:
A personal announcement: I'm leaving Macworld after 17 years. http://t.co/gozwnjN0z5
--- Jason Snell (@jsnell) September 10, 2014On his personal website, Snell wrote that his time with Macworld was "a great ride."
"Unfortunately, many of my colleagues lost their jobs today," he wrote. "If there's anything I can do to help them, I will. I have had time to plan for this day, but they haven't. You probably know some of them. Please join with me in giving them sympathy and support."
The San Francisco-based magazine was launched in 1984, the same year Apple introduced the Macintosh.
The cuts were part of a major reorganization at IDG Communications, according to Folio Magazine. A new U.S. Media group was created. The company did not tell Folio Magazine how many employees were let go.
The Boston Globe's report notes that November's will be the last dead-tree issue and that Boston-based International Data Group has previously gone through similar moves with their other properties, Computerworld and PCWorld.

Paranoid much? Lagg said he used to get multiple mags at work for Linux distros and I simply wondered why did his job require multiple Linux distros. Maybe if you were so afraid that your product might not measure up you wouldn't be looking for boogeymen. But you want a jab? Far be it from me to disappoint!
Just FYI the Hairyfeet Challenge is celebrating its EIGHTH YEAR without a single consumer distro able to pass a test that was first passed in Windows with Win2K 15 years ago! Feel free to blow a party horn and fire up a copy of Win2K for old times sake, I'm waiting for Windows 9 which looks like it'll be another Win 7 runaway smash. BTW congratulations are in order, after struggling and giving your product away for 22 years you've managed to surpass other by 0.01%! [statcounter.com] Considering that "other" is usually taken to mean Win9X and Win2K at this rate you should beat WinXP by 2045! Isn't that great? Wow what momentum!
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.
