When design publication I.D. magazine shuttered last month, we hoped it was the last of the bad news we’d be hearing from its publisher, F+W Media.

Unfortunately, in a move that metaphorically stands for everything that happened in 2009, F+W, has let go the editor-in-chief of one of their other design publications, Print magazine. We received a tip about Emily Gordon‘s departure moments ago, only to have it confirmed by Gordon’s own Twitter feed.

After over a year of speculating this exact question, we can now quite literally ask: will this be the death of Print?

We’ll update you with more details as they become available. Know anything? Leave us an anonymous tip or send it by email.
