Doubts over Standard’s future in print after Indy digital takeover
The Observer
|January 25, 2026
The Independent’s takeover of the Evening Standard’s online and commercial operations, announced last week, highlights the struggle of the UK newspaper industry to attract advertising revenue, analysts say.
"Newspapers are a cover price and subscriptions business these days, the only way most have avoided revenue dips is cover price hikes," said one. "And people don’t subscribe online to newspapers they get for free."
The move will take place in March and is a licensing deal that leaves the Standard with a print-only team of around 25, down from 75. Staff have been offered voluntary redundancy, with a deadline of 26 January. Only 38 will transfer to the Independent.
