Auckland-based business publication The Independent is to shut up shop after almost 20 years, with Fairfax announcing a major restructure of its business journalism.
The media company revealed today that it would refocus on its Businessday brands, with The Independent due to close down next month.
Eight journalists now working for the newspaper will be transferred to the website operations in the move.
The paper was first published in 1992 and Fiona Rotherham - its final editor – will manage the Businessday website.
Fairfax bought the Independent in 2006.
