Wal-Mart has cut more than 1,000 magazines from the racks in its stores:
Most of the magazines are small, and more than a few of the victims are titles that have long since stopped publishing, including Child, Celebrity Living, Elle Girl, Teen People, Suede, Shop Etc., Weekend and FHM. However, virtually no major publisher was spared.
Wal-Mart, which released its official purge list on Jan. 15, is believed to be responsible for generating more than 20 percent of all retail magazine sales in the US

Update: FolioMag has more: Why Wal-Mart Cut 1,000 Magazines. Folio says "the company’s Sustainability Committee—and its commitment to reducing waste—played a key role in its decision."
