| The Malay Mail to be a paid morning newspaper Posted: 14 Sep 2011 05:30 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: The Malay Mail, one of the nations's oldest newspapers, announced a strategic change in its business model - from a free afternnon daily to a paid morning newspaper. Editor-in-chief Yushaimi Yahaya said Wednesday the switch from afternoon to morning, within the next few weeks, was primarily due to the fact that benefits of an afternoon paper were voided by the advent of technology. He said consumers currently obtained late breaking news through alerts on their phones, iPads and the internet. "A morning paper will further allow us to give our readers in-depth reports of news events that occur during the news day. "We will focus on in-depth investigative reports on issues that impact our readers and Malaysians, in general. "As we work towards moving from a free paper to a paid model, we will gradually decrease our print run as an interim measure, until the new paper is launched," he said in a statement. Yushaimi said readers could continue to access The Malay Mail via its website. - Bernama |
