Entertainment Weekly Gets Weaker as the Weeks Go By

Image
The internet has taken the media world by storm. Publications that solely relied on selling prints have slowly been moving towards releasing stories online. Despite this new approach, some magazines and newspapers have managed to hold onto their physical sales as well as publishing stories on their own website. One company that has failed to fo that is Entertainment Weekly, which stopped printing in 2022, now only releasing online. Entertainment Weekly is an American entertainment magazine that covers film, television, music, Broadway theatre, books, and everything popular culture. It debuted in 1990 and published weekly until 2019, when they began releasing monthly.
