有關《新報》於 2015 年 7 月 12 日起停刊事宜

基於連年虧損,本報將於 2015 年 7 月 12 日起停刊,正式結束業務。

隨着免費報章的出現,傳統報章近年銷量大幅下降,加上讀者讀報的習慣有所改變,本報在可行的方法及預算下已作出多番適切改革,唯仍然處於長期虧蝕狀態。經過詳細考慮,本報決定於 2015 年 7 月 12 日起停刊,所有受影響員工將獲合理賠償及妥善安排。

本報自 1959 年創辦,見證香港 56 年以來的轉變,記錄本地政經民生發展,與香港人一起成長。在此,本報再次十分感謝所有讀者、客戶及員工多年來的支持及愛戴

RE: Hong Kong Daily News to cease publication from July 12, 2015

The publication of Hong Kong Daily News will be ceased from July 12, 2015 due to financial deficits over the past years.

Circulations of traditional newspapers have been plummeting ever since the advent of free newspapers. Coupled with the changingreading habits of newspaper readers, the situation has led Hong Kong Daily News into a long standing deficit despite repeatedattempts to reform. After carful considerations, it has been decided that the publication of the newspaper will come into a haltfrom July 12, 2015. All staff will be compensated fairly with proper arrangements.

Hong Kong Daily News has witnessed the transformation of Hong Kong in the past 56 years since it was first published in 1959,setting down the economic and social development of the territories. The newspaper also takes this opportunity to thank allreaders, customers and staff for their long time support.
