Print is how we began and print will always be a part of who we are.” In 2021, alongside our digital content offerings and new consumer product launches, we will bring back fresh and innovative printed offerings in a variety of new forms - through special editions, partnerships with the most provocative creators, timely collections and much more. “We will move to a digital-first publishing schedule for all of our content including the Playboy Interview, 20Q, the Playboy Advisor and of course our Playmate pictorials. A magazine to many, a lifestyle to many more, an apparel brand, a membership club and even, according to some, ‘a corruptor of our youth.’ But throughout the past 66 years, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to free expression and breaking taboos, leaning into discomfort, helping audiences express and understand their sexuality, and advocating for the pursuit of pleasure for all,” writes Kohn, who worked as a financier before taking on a leadership role at the company and taking it private in 2011. It remains unclear if the magazine will ever return to newsstands. In a lengthy letter posted Wednesday on the blog platform Medium by Ben Kohn, CEO of Playboy Enterprises, he details the decision and outlines his plans for the iconic publication moving forward. A new Playboy magazine is being published this week - both on newsstands and as a digital download - and it will be the last one this year.
