AsianWeek, a newspaper for Asian-Americans, has become the largest US paper to drop its print editions to move to online only.
The 30-year old paper has a circulation of roughly 60,000 and will go online only beginning on Monday.
AsianWeek president and editor James Fang wrote in a letter to all readers that, "There are fewer major newspapers, fewer newspaper readers and fewer newspaper advertisers than ever before. Asian Pacific Americans have led the way in the digital revolution, migrating away from print media and into receiving their news and information electronically."
"To reflect these changing times, AsianWeek will cease regular newspaper publication immediately. We will continue to publish online and in special newspaper editions."
