INDEPENDENT TO CEASE AS PRINT EDITION

The Independent and Independent on Sunday newspapers are to cease print editions in March, leaving only an online edition, the owner has said.

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."

The last print edition of the Independent will be published on Saturday 26 March, while the last Independent on Sunday will be on 20 March.
