Jane magazine will cease publication with its
            August issue. Charles H. Townsend, the CEO of Conde
            Nast Publications, Jane's parent company, made the
            announcement       official in a press release.     
       "This was a very
            difficult decision for us," Townsend said in the       press
            release. "We worked diligently to make Jane a
            success.       However, we have come to believe that the
            magazine and Web site will not       fulfill our long-term
            business expectations."     
       The magazine was
            founded in 1997 by Jane Pratt, who was also founding
            editor of the now-defunct cult teen girl mag
            Sassy. (The Advocate)
