O, The Oprah Magazine is ending its regular monthly print editions with the December 2020 issue after 20 years of publication.

“I’m proud of this team and what we have delivered to our readers over the past 20 years,” Winfrey said in a statement provided by Hearst. “I look forward to the next step in our evolution.”

The team said that it was just a ‘natural step’ and that the magazine will become more ‘digitally centric’.

Reflecting on the success of her women's magazine Winfrey, 66, told PEOPLE: "I’m proud of this team and what we have delivered to our readers over the past 20 years,” adding, “I look forward to the next step in our evolution.”

Meanwhile, Winfrey has signed the deal for an interview series at streaming platform Apple TV Plus. Titled The Oprah Conversation, the show will debut on the streaming service on July 30, reported Variety.

The series will feature discussions with “today’s foremost newsmakers, thought leaders and masters of their craft.”

For the first episode titled ‘How to Be an Antiracist’, Winfrey will be joined by author/professor Ibram X Kendi to speak with white readers confronting their own racism.

This marks the third show that Winfrey is hosting for Apple TV Plus, after Oprah Talks COVID-19 and Oprah’s Book Club.
