London Independent switches to tabloid only

THE London Independent, part of Tony O’Reilly’s media group, will be available in tabloid form only from next Monday.

The paper, which has been printed in both broadsheet and tabloid format since last September, has seen a reversal in its fortunes since the move.

Circulation has soared 31% and it’s close to breaking even after years of losses. The paper is now selling 258,000 copies a day.
