Blimey! Half of the UK’s local, regional press could be shut down by 2014, Parliament is told
June 17, 2009 at 3:03 pm by Wayne GarciaIt’s not just U.S. daily print journalism that is dying a horrible, twisting death; it is also happening in Great Britain.
This from the Guardian:
Claire Enders, the chief executive of Enders Analysis, told a Commons committee that newspapers would close across Britain because revenues would collapse by 52% – or £1.3bn – between 2007 and 2013.
“We are expecting up to half of all the 1,300 titles will close in the next five years,” Enders told the Commons culture, media and sport select committee hearing on the future of local and regional media.
