Here is the response from Perri Dorset at Bonier Publications:

HI there-

Effective with the March/April 2017 issue, we’ve made the difficult decision to cease publication of Popular Photography Magazine.

You can also receive one of the following Bonnier publications if you prefer them to Popular Science.

I see, from the comments, that the list came out five years ago. That means that Zoom was not being published five years ago, otherwise it would've been on the list. Good to know, that I haven't missed that many. Or, perhaps, it's content is too esoteric to be included on this list - the magazines listed do seem to be of a more ordinary commercial interest.

I just received an email from pop photography verifying this fact. I asked if the editor and staff were going to start a new publication. I also asked if there would be an online version. Lastly, I asked about the mentor series. I hope some good can be salvaged from this amazing rag. Sorry to see it go!!!

I subscribed and have received my 1st issue which is the March/April.
It even has an article about my new camera, the Sony a99II.
I guess I have to wait and see what comes next.

Charles, they are going to switch your subscription to Popular Science unless you call them and tell them otherwise. You may opt for some other Bonnier publications or you may request a refund. 800-876-6636. Read my post just above.

What do you think of that camera. As soon as I have a bunch of bills paid up I'm going to be saving for one. I've heard complaints about they have the video programmed to work, but I'm more of a still photographer anyways (although I've occasionally experimented with it).

How sad. I learned much from the photo magazines in the 70's and 80's. All the ads in the last few pages were very helpfull in making my buying experiences easier.

I guess the only place to get camera news from now on will be some biased, opinionated, ultra-conservative message board that I belong to...

twhrider Loc: Indiana

Yeah....I had just renewed too, go figure. So I sent an email asking what was going to happen and they just told me it was going to be switched to Popular Science. The other publications were never given as an option....might have considered field and stream....anyway, wrote them back and told them I didn't want Popular Science, to just cancel and refund. They said they would, but also said it could take a couple of months before it shows on my account. A couple of months???

BHC Loc: Strawberry Valley, JF, USA

Only one?

Marionsho Loc: Kansas

What message board would that be?

The fact hat Popular Photography lasted for 80 years, doesn't back up any you're saying very well!
