Bauer Media chops three magazines

Bauer Media has axed three more magazines with Homes+, Recipes+ and Yours to close at the end of January.

The magazines are the first to be closed by newly appointed CEO Paul Dykzeul who took over running Australia's largest magazine publisher from Nick Chan in June.

Homes+ launched in July 2014 while Yours was launched four years ago and Recipes+ was launched around two years ago.

In a statement Dykzeul said: "These are essential changes so we can anticipate and respond to changes in the publishing market and are in line with our previously-announced strategy.

"The organisation will ensure all employees impacted by the closure of these titles are well supported to find future opportunities."

Earlier this week Bauer Media restructured the team for Australian Women's Weekly, letting a number of staff go.

It is unclear if the staff of the three magazines will be redeployed within the company or let go.

It comes after a troubled few months for Bauer with the company losing a $4.5 defamation case to Rebel Wilson.
