For Vista <\/span>and the other community newspapers in the Free State and Northern Cape it will be business as usual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media24 announced on Tuesday, 18 June, that it has accepted an offer from Novus Holdings to purchase its community newspaper portfolio, subject to regulatory approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes all the Central24 titles in the Free State and Northern Cape. Novus Holdings is the printer of Vista<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advertisers and readers will still receive the free printed newspaper every Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be no inter\u00adruption in Vista<\/span>\u2019s publishing schedule, and it will continue to be business as usual for this portfolio under its new ownership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transfer of the community newspaper portfolio will take place once regulatory approval is granted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media24 also announced this week that it is contemplating the possible closure of the print editions of five newspapers \u2013 Beeld<\/span>, Rapport<\/span>, City Press<\/span>, Daily Sun<\/span> and Soccer Laduma<\/span> \u2013 as well as the digital hub SNL24, and the digital editions (PDF format) of Volksblad <\/span>and Die Burger Oos-Kaap<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the company would be transitioning Rapport<\/span>, City Press<\/span> and Daily Sun <\/span>to digital-only brands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the statement, the company has initiated a consultation process with affected staff at the five newspapers and SNL24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
