[quote]The Independent and Independent on Sunday newspapers are to cease print editions in March, the owner has said.

Announcing a move to a "digital-only future", ESI Media said there would be "some redundancies among editorial employees".

But it said there would also be 25 new "digital-content roles".

ESI has also confirmed it will sell the i newspaper to Johnston Press, subject to approval from Johnston's shareholders.

Evgeny Lebedev, ESI's owner, said: "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."[/quote]

major newspapers over here are showing major losses in the paper field, everyone's gone to digital and getting their news from facebook, twitter, or a television news station

it was bound to happen but the implementation of digital subscriptions + paywalls will only deterrent people further

I don't even read the news, I'm doing fine with quick glances at headlines and imagining what they're about.

I didn't look at newspapers for about a year now and I feel a much better person for it.

Free Newspapers have existed alongside payed Newspapers for a while. Conservatives love paying for news.

What do you do when your industry that you have years of experience in collapses or mutates into something unrecognizable?

I reckon my grandparents won't be happy with news going digital.

That's a shame. The Independent newspaper is good, but the website tends to have a lot of input from the left-wing which runs contrary to its centrist views.
