Newsquest | Gannett closes U.K. print weeklies

The final editions of the Hounslow and Brentford Times and Chiswick Times were published Friday, the paper's top editor told readers in a note.

The publications will continue online, Helen Barnes said, and readers can still buy the weekly's sister titles in print, the Richmond and Twickenham Times, which will be on sale at outlets right across the borough.

The Chiswick Times was first published March 29, 1895.

The papers are part of Gannett's U.K. division, Newsquest, which publishes 17 dailies and hundreds of weeklies.

  1. Newsquest is not long for this world. What idiot was suckered into buying this chain. Corporate doesn't understand the market, and doesn't understand the culture. It was destined to be a disaster.
