關於報紙那些事：獨立報停刊 歐美報紙科普
The final print edition of The Independent has been sent to press, as the title moves to a digital-only format.
《獨立報》的最後一刊印刷版已經開始印刷，之後報紙就只會出電子版了。
The paper's last front page features an exclusive story about a British connection in a plot to kill a Saudi King.
《獨立報》的上一期封面是一個獨家故事，關於英國與謀殺沙特國王陰謀的關聯。
The Independent was launched by a group of journalists led by Andreas Whittam Smith in 1986. It enjoyed initial success rising to a circulation passing 400,000 by 1988, and claimed it was free from proprietorial influence.
《獨立報》在1986年由以安德烈亞斯·惠特曼·史密斯爲首的一羣記者創建。1988年，其發行量超過四十萬份。《獨立報》方聲稱自己不受所有制影響。
The Independent On Sunday launched in 1990, with Stephen Glover as editor. The final Sunday edition was published last week.
《獨立報》週日版於1990年開始發行，由史蒂芬·葛羅維擔任編輯。最後一次發行《獨立報》週日版是在上週。
The newspaper's final editorial said "history will judge" its "bold transition" to online media as "an example for other newspapers around the world to follow".
《獨立報》的最後一位編輯說：“歷史將會證明，我們轉型做在線媒體的勇敢轉變，會成爲世界上其他報紙效仿的對象。”
He concludes: "Today the presses have stopped, the ink is dry and the paper will soon crinkle no more. But as one chapter closes, another opens, and the spirit of The Independent will flourish still."Our work goes on, our mission endures, the war still rages, and the dream of our founders shall never die."
他說：如今的紙媒已經停滯不前，墨水最終會幹，紙也最終會褶皺。但隨着一個篇章的結束，另一個篇章也將開始，《獨立報》的精神會繼續發揚。“我們的工作還在繼續，我們的任務還會持續，戰爭依舊嚴峻，我們創立者的夢想永遠不會死亡。”
《獨立報》停止發行紙質版固然讓人遺憾，但也不得不說，電子傳媒的確在大範圍取代紙媒的地位。趁着紙媒還沒全部被取代，我們看看英美主要報刊雜誌的網站：
