An iconic newspaper likely to be familiar to any New Zealander who has lived in London looks to have published for the last time.
Targeting ex-pats, the New Zealand News UK has distributed in London and various other parts of Britain since 1927, but suspended publishing in July after striking hard times.
Little or no prospect of trading out of debt suggests the internet age, coupled with a recession, has been damaging for the weekly tabloid-sized paper.
The newspaper employed many New Zealanders over the years and used NZPA content to keep readers up to speed with news from home, while also acting as a useful medium for job hunting and contacting long-lost friends.
The publication went online in 2006 and the website is still functional.
