Ministry of Sound's dance magazine is shutting down amidst a poor economy and lack of sales, following in the footsteps of another dance magazine '7'.
BBC Radio 1 reported that Ministry of Sound's flagship dance magazine "Ministry" is shutting its doors after its final issue on the 17th of November, just after 7 Magazine, another UK based dance magazine closed its doors earlier this month.
Although the previously popular magazine reached a peak time distribution of 65,000 copies and maintained profits throughout its distribution period, Ministry's global expansion plans require a new focal point for media publishing.
With Ministry shutting down, Ministry of Sound have suggested that a rebranded concept will be opening up within the near future to promote a forward looking strategy.
To those of you who have been avid readers of the magazine, you can either wait for the revamped version or check out other major magazines.

I think this is terrible!! ALbeit Ministry mag had shady recommendations/reviews (put tracks on top because of ties w/dj, record label/artist/their own albums), their articles were a good laugh. I loved reading about all the nights in the UK, and if it wasn't for that mag, I would have had no idea about which club nights to go to in London and Manchester this past summer.
It does underscore the backlash thats happening in the UK agaisnt superclubs and big labels like Ministry, along with Cream closing, Gatecrasher going monthly, and so on.
Shame, though.
