Breaking: Hearst Folds Oprah Spinoff 'O at Home'

It continues. Hearst Magazines, which recently pulled the plug on Cosmogirl and has been laying off staff at a number of titles, is shutting down O at Home, the shelter-focused spinoff of O, The Oprah Magazine. The release is here.

O at Home's editor in chief, Sarah Gray Miller, is staying with the company, becoming editor in chief of Country Living. That title's former editor, Nancy Soriano, left Hearst last month.

Update: Via email, a Hearst spokeswoman says "virtually all" of O at Home's staffers, "with a few exceptions," will be placed elsewhere within the company. Four of its editorial employees will follow Gray Miller to Country Living (although whether that means layoffs at Country Living to make room for them was unclear from the message).
