This just in, The Independent Newspaper, once home to our very own boobylicious Editrix in Chief is to close. Well cease being printed on paper. It’s not closing entirely, that sounds rather dramatic doesn’t it? Instead it will be entirely online.
Evgeny Lebedev, owner of The Independent, said: “The newspaper industry is changing, and that change is being driven by readers. They’re showing us that the future is digital. This decision preserves the Independent brand and allows us to continue to invest in the high quality editorial content that is attracting more and more readers to our online platforms. “The Independent has always been a pioneering newspaper with a track record of innovation. It has a proud heritage as Britain’s first truly independent national quality title. My family bought and invested heavily in The Independent because we believe in world-class quality journalism, and this move secures the future of these vitally important editorial values.”
The move, according to the official announcement, will capitalise on The Independent’s position as the fastest growing UK quality newspaper website, and will ensure a sustainable and profitable future.
The future is no longer orange. The future is digital. We wish them all the best.
