Parsiana Magazine to Cease Publication After 60 Years
Parsiana, a magazine about the Parsi (Zoroastrian) community, is stopping its printing after 60 years.
The magazine wrote about the lives and issues of the Parsi community, sometimes causing controversy.
The magazine was started in 1964 to share stories about the Parsi community.
Even though the magazine had a good reputation and many readers, they could not find someone to take over and had an aging staff.
While there will be no new editions, the magazine's archives will still be available.
Parsiana magazine, launched in 1964, is ending its publication run.
The magazine covered Parsi events and community issues, often sparking debate.
Jehangir Patel has been the editor and publisher since 1973.
The closure is due to an aging staff and no clear successor.
The magazine's archives will still be accessible after the final edition.
