'Penthouse' Ends Print Run, Goes Digital-Only
by Erik Sass, Staff Writer

NEW YORK: -- It’s the end of an era, or something. Penthouse magazine owner FriendFinder Network announced Friday that it will cease publishing the skin mag’s print edition and switch to a digital-only format.

The magazine’s print subscribers will henceforth receive digital subscriptions to its Web site. The company is also closing the magazine’s New York offices and consolidating all operations at the FriendFinder headquarters in Los Angeles.

There’s always a bit of editorial judgment involved when covering pornography. Unlike Playboy, which might indulgently be described as “cheesecake” or “pinups,” if you happen to be my great uncle, Penthouse was definitely pornography, in keeping with Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s famous dictum “I know it when I see it.”
