The Reading Post, Bracknell Times, Wokingham Times, three Surrey papers and the Harrow Observer are all to close, their owner Trinity Mirror has announced.
In its heyday, the Reading Post was an award-winning daily paper owned by Thomson Regional Newspapers. It remained an evening title until 2009 when it went twice-weekly. In 2013 its circulation stood at just over 10,000 after an 8.8% annual drop.
About 50 jobs in total will go as the newspapers turn off the presses. Trinity Mirror said it would continue to operate the paper’s websites, and described the “digital-only publishing transformation” as a bold move.
The papers are expected to cease publishing in December.
