London's Evening Standard axes daily print edition


The newspaper plans to go to a single weekly print edition after almost 200 years.

Last year, Bloomberg reported that new Standard editor Dylan Jones said he took the job on the condition that its owners didn't shut down the print edition. Twelve million people access the Standard's digital platforms every month, with half of that traffic coming from outside London and overseas, it said. "This new combination would place more emphasis on delivering our world-class content to the broadest readership possible, while collaborating with advertisers to reach this audience in the most accessible, creative, and relevant manner."
