Associated Newspapers’ freesheet, the London Lite, will publish its last edition on Friday 13 November, according to a release.
The decision follows a consultation with staff.
In August, News International, the UK newspaper division of News Corporation announced that it would close thelondonpaper, its free evening newspaper launched in 2006.
Meanwhile, the Evening Standard, in which Associated still has a minority share, switched from paid-for to free last month.
NO!!!! I love reading the Lite. It might not be high brow journalism but it’s great fun. What a shame.
The real shame is that the Managing Editor in charge of redundancies failed to let any of the Lites newsdesk know that there were three positions on the Metro newsdesk available!
