The owner, Australian Consolidated Press, has announced that The Bulletin will cease publication immediately.
A statement from ACP Magazines' chief executive Scott Lorson attributed a drop in circulation of the magazine to the impact of expanding online coverage of news and current affairs.
Mr Lorson said it was a "sad day" for all involved.
"We have invested heavily in the title with top editorial, photographic and design staff who have been devoted to making The Bulletin the best of its genre," he said.
"However, despite our best efforts, the magazine has simply not been commercially viable for some time. With limited prospects for improvement, the time has come to make a very tough decision."

I feel that this mag deserves a eulogy
It was the longest and most influential magazine in Australia but it has fallen victim of the digital revolution, with news coming minute by minute there is not a market for a weekly magazine
It ran for 130 years but with it losing money like a sieve and its supporter Kerry Packer dead the magazine fell victim of money
