Only just seen this and I'm gutted.
I am one of that dwindling number of print Independent readers - indeed just got my next 13 weeks worth of vouchers for the print copy which will take us beyond the last print date.
I've tried other papers and I keep coming back to the Independent - all the others irritate me in varying degrees. And I don't want to read it on a tablet, I like a proper newspaper. Sadly I'm one of a tiny minority and I guess I'm screwed :(

Know that feel, bro, as I understand the youngsters online say these days when empathising with another chap.
Never a regular print buyer, the Indy was one of the few newspapers I ever consistently bought. (Along with one other - a virtual pint if you can guess which one it was).

The Indy was one of the better newspapers, imo!

Sad news, although it had become a bit of a comic recently. Sales of 40, 000 - wow.
Well, the right wing domination of the media increases, I suppose. I find the Guardian very boring, so I don't bother now.
