Newsfax won't be the last newspaper printer to go under

摘要

The fate of one newsprint giant tells a tale about the sector as a whole, a sector that needs radical restructuring to survive in the modern world words. When news of the collapse into administration of Newsfax International and Newsfax (Bow) began to filter through at the end of September, it provoked two simultaneous reactions. On the one hand, it was argued that the longstanding contract newspaper printer was too big to fail - how could a business with titles such as Metro, Financial Times and City A.M. on its books turn out to be so vulnerable to the struggling economy? However, other commentators pointed out that there is no part of today's industry more prone to causalities through consolidation than the newspaper sector.
