News & Observer publishes final issue of its "Living in Style" magazine

The N&O's "Living in Style" magazine is no more.

Wake County subscribers to The News & Observer last Friday received the final issue of Living in Style magazine, a bi-monthly published by the newspaper since 2006. Jim McClure, vice president for display advertising, told his staff in an e-mail this morning that, “Given our focus on Print & Deliver [a preprint insert program] and Yahoo sales, and taking into account the staffing changes that have recently taken place … [and] in light of the economic pressures on our building and home furnishings customers” the company will discontinue publication of the magazine.

All but one of Living in Style’s staff members left the company through layoffs and buyouts this year, and the publication itself, which once had a circulation of 87,000 per issue, has dwindled from a high of 92 pages in May/June 2007 to 32 in the past week’s November/December issue.

There is no "Living in Style" since Obama took office. We're all trying to squeeze by until payday - if we even have a job. The days of spending are over. Obama will take our last dollar to pay some welfare parasite.

“Living in Style” a bit of a metaphor for McClatchy...huh?

I have a nicer view. If we don't get to he poor house thanks to Bush's wars, we might just get there thanks to Obama's generosity.

Bush was a piker compared to the spending from Obama. How can Obama be "generous" with our money?
Obama deficits are ten times higher than Bush. Moreover, he is building in a structural deficit, not associated with an event but part of the fabric of the country. These are deficits that there is no way we can sustain.
Nine thought or not, you are a moron.

Obama has proven to be just what the Country needs. Earlier in the year, when the stock market had tanked Rush Limbaugh was talking about the "Obama Depression". Now that the economy has started to get better and the stock market is up 35%, Limbaugh talks about ACORN? What a joke

The stock market rise is on paper. Those dumb enough to believe the market will continue its rise only need to think back about how much money they lost in the recent crash. Profits are only up for most companies because of cost cutting and that means massive unemployment. Obama needs to fix the value of the dollar and fast.

Honestly, I worked there in 1996 and had no clue this "Living in Style" existed.
