Morrison Media, the publisher of popular woman’s magazine Frankie, has closed and launched a number of magazines as part of a strategic review.
Bimonthly magazines Trail Bike Adventure and Australian Longboarding Magazine, and annual titles Snowboarder and Powder Hound have folded, resulting in a number of redundancies.
All four titles have been running for more than a decade.
However, Morrison has launched a mining title called Shaft, which is to be edited by the former editor of Trail Bike Adventure Tom Foster.
Also launching is quarterly surfing magazine White Horses.
Meanwhile Morrison’s mens magazine Smith Journal, which launched in August of last year, is to increase its frequency from biannual to quarterly. The third issue of the title comes out in June.
Overall, the changes see the company’s magazine portfolio and headcount shrink by around 10%, according to general manager Craig Sims.
The company currently employs around 50 staff.

Anthony Zuiker created CSI, generating more than $6 billion. But with his new cross-platform experiment, his killer instinct is really kicking in.
A Man crouches on a 3-foot-by-3-foot glass-top table in a dank basement near the Los Angeles River, just outside of downtown L.A. The man is a contortionist. He's wearing a skintight, hooded latex body condom, bone white, zipped up the back to the top of his head, with holes for his eyes and a zipper over his mouth.
He nonchalantly folds a leg behind his neck and scratches his head with his toes. Next to him is a gallon jar of snails, and on a table, a pile of salt has been cut into lines in the shape of a maze. With a razor blade, the contortionist scrapes the glass clean between the lines, then deposits a snail in the center.
Snails disintegrate in salt, of course,...
