The reports of further print publication closures is another sad moment in the world of print media.

This comes on top of Bauer Media doing the same thing. The C19 virus was too big a problem to survive.

There’s a commitment to maintain the level of reporting online, but it’s hard to see how that will be given the expected job losses the closures are ringing in. It’s a regrettable if somewhat inevitable moment in media with the rural communities effected by this will be particularly hit hard.
