After four decades of being a regular Sunday newspaper in South Africa, City Press is fully moving to the online platform and doing away with a print version.
According to the company, they have decided to end the print version of the paper to embrace the digital future and amplify the newspaper’s reach.
City Press is printed their final edition on Sunday.
In the meantime, some of the staff are facing a new reality, and have expressed their feelings.
One said, “Since my first day here I’ve been preparing for this, it is s digital agent as much they want to stick to newspapers and want to feel income in their hands, this has been a coming in a long time. It is not a much of a shift for me because I have been working on the digital side since joining.”
“It’s kind of exciting and sad moving away from print because we are used to getting the paper on Sunday and see your byline there,” said another.
“I’m old school, I grew up reading a newspaper, I want the feel and smell of it,” an old staff offered.
