Meredith Corporation is combining Cooking Light with EatingWell, consolidating what it sees as two magazines whose content overlaps, and eliminating as a frequency-based print magazine the mass-circulation title that came to Meredith when it acquired Time Inc. earlier this year. The last issue of Cooking Light will be its December issue, which closes in about a week. Carey Witmer, executive vice president and group publisher of the Meredith Food Group, notes that both Cooking Light and Eating Well have been leaders in the healthy lifestyle market for more than 20 years (Cooking Light was founded in 1987 and EatingWell was founded in 1990). Like Coastal Living, the Cooking Light brand will live on in print in the form of SIPs. And various branded businesses for both Cooking Light and EatingWell, including licensing, bookazines, cookbooks and the Cooking Light Diet, will continue to operate under their current names.
