Publisher turns last page on magazines

CONTROVERSIAL publisher Mike Hogan’s magazine empire came crashing to earth yesterday with the closure of its remaining four titles, including Magill and In Dublin.

In a statement issued yesterday afternoon, Mr Hogan announced the company that publishes the magazines, Ink Publishing Ltd, and its associated publishing companies had ceased trading.

The 12 remaining staff at the company, which has been struggling over the past number of years, were informed of the decision yesterday afternoon. A creditors’ meeting is expected to be held by the end of this month.
