The London Evening Standard is to stop printing five days a week and will aim to appear, possibly, just once a week.
When I arrived at the Standard as Assistant Editor in 2002, we put out five editions a day with three or four arts pages. Paid circulation was around 400,000 and a page of advertising cost £17,000. We were profitable, happy, news breaking and agenda setting.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
The post Sad day as Evening Standard dies appeared first on Slippedisc.
