不堪连年亏损 56年香港《新报》今停刊
见证香港56年历史的《新报》,在7月11日宣布于7月12日停刊。声明中指出,因为免费报章出现、读者读报习惯改变,经多方改革后仍处于连年亏损状态,因此决定停刊,所有受影响的员工将获得合理赔偿及妥善安排。
根据《维基百科》内容,《新报》于1959年10月5日由罗斌创办,停刊前由英皇集团老板杨受成拥有,并为英皇集团旗下印刷媒介业务,赌王何鸿燊亦是股东之一。以下为声明原文。
基于连年亏损,本报将于 2015 年 7 月 12 日起停刊,正式结束业务。
随着免费报章的出现,传统报章近年销量大幅下降,加上读者读报的习惯有所改变,本报在可行的方法及预算下已作出多番适切改革,唯仍然处于长期亏蚀状态。经过详细考虑,本报决定于 2015 年 7 月 12 日起停刊,所有受影响员工将获合理赔偿及妥善安排。
本报自 1959 年创办,见证香港 56 年以来的转变,记录本地政经民生的发展,与香港人一起成长。在此,本报再次十分感谢所有读者、客户及员工多年来的支持及爱戴。

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.
