The International Cinematographers Guild has informed members that its executive board voted to discontinue ICG Magazine after nearly a century of publication, according to guild president John Lindley. The decision reflects efforts to pursue alternative methods for member engagement as traditional print formats face sustainability challenges in the current media landscape. The periodical originally debuted in 1929 under the title The International Photographer before evolving into its current form.
The December edition will mark the final issue for the monthly publication, which has served approximately 10,000 guild members throughout its lengthy existence. Uncertainty remains regarding the future of associated programs, including a podcast hosted by executive David Geffner, as well as employment prospects for editorial personnel and contributing writers affiliated with the magazine.
