As you may already know, it’s been a tough few years for many print media. Like everyone else, HK Magazine has been subjected to very challenging market conditions, making it difficult for the publication to continue to be commercially viable.

So, it is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that HK Magazine’s last issue will come out this Friday (October 7).

We all hate goodbyes. They hurt no matter how tough we think we are, and especially when we have to part with things that we’ve grown accustomed to, or indeed learned to love.

To make goodbyes less painful, I’ve long relied on the self-protection mechanism of making people like me a bit less, or making myself dislike them a bit more. Over the years this has proved effective.

But here at HK Magazine, this formula would never have worked. We love you too much, and we hope you feel the same.

HK Magazine has served Hong Kong by not only showing the fun side of the city, but also providing an independent, quirky perspective on issues that matter to Hongkongers and our readers.
