The closure of the Daily Sport and Sunday Sport came to an emotional end on last night’s BBC2 Newsnight (31:00). But if the newspaper really is to stop publishing, why is it recruiting a Sports Editor? (see below)
Yesterday, newspaper owner Sport Media Group (SMG) announced on its website that the company had ceased with immediate effect after its loan repayment of £50,000 (which was deferred for six months from September 2010) had come to an end.
The National Union of Journalists is calling for a full investigation into the collapse of the Daily Sport and Sunday Sport, whose circulation peaked at 189,473 in 2005.
Administrators will meet on Monday to decide how to pay its 131 members of staff.
One wonders just what the new Sports Editor will be doing if there is no newspaper to produce?
For anyone interested in the position, the closing date is the 14th Apri 2011.
