The announcement came after the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Stephen Hayes, met privately with Ryan McKibben, the chairman of The Weekly Standard’s publisher, MediaDC.

The closing of the magazine represents a broader shift in conservative media. Outlets on the right that are critical of Trump have lost influence or changed their tone, while media organizations on the right supportive of the President have flourished.

In a note sent to staff Friday morning, Hayes referenced the difficulty conservative news organizations critical of Trump have had in recent years.
