The weekly freesheet released its final edition on 23 October and was then closed, after it was decided that the publication was ‘no longer financially viable’.
One editorial member of staff at the newspaper was involved with the newspaper and has now been transferred to the Edinburgh Evening News explained Scotsman publications managing director of The Scotsman Publications, Andrew Richardson.
Meanwhile, Hold the Front Page is reporting that after a six-week break in publication, following the liquidation of Forth Independent Newspapers, four weekly newspapers, the Wee County News, Strathallan News, Allanwater News and Eastside News, have resume publishing.
