Stampede from printed publications continues

Newspapers are not the only publications abandoning the printed version for online distribution.

The Physiotherapy Journal published its final printed version in December. The quarterly publications will be online only in 2013 in March, June, September and December.

Newspapers that switched to online-only publication include:

Kansas City Kansan, founded in 1921, owned by Gatehouse Media.

San Francisco based AsiaWeek, after nearly 30 years of publication.

Spanish-language weekday paper Hoy Nueva York, owned by Impremedia, which also has Spanish-language El Diario La Prensa in New York and La Opinión in Los Angeles.

The Sasebo Soundings newspaper, a longtime source of command and community information at Sasebo Naval Base in southern Japan.

At least 100 newspapers have dropped one or more days of print editions in America, including a dozen in Ohio. Some, including the Plain Dealer, are contemplating digital-only publication, abandoning the print version completely.
