Oh, wow.

Yeah, plenty of regionals are struggling and some big names might go under (Birmingham Post for one), and the Observer is clearly in trouble, but for a national daily paper to sink...

...I mean, the Indie is a shit paper these days and I wouldn't miss it, but...

When did the last one close? Today back in the 1980s?

Today closed in 1995. I remember that and remember no one missing it. I think the last national to go under before Today would have been either the Daily Herald or the Daily Sketch... can't remember which though. Was about to suggest maybe the News Chronicle as well, but that was earlier. Amusingly enough, the Indy these days has a very similar readership base to the News Chronicle towards the end...
