Another paper media waved goodbye, and Hunan Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Daily closed on September 21st.

Another traditional paper media belongs to "silence"

On September 21st, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Daily published a closing speech on the front page, saying that it was "officially announcing the fall of another paper media". Earlier, on September 18th and 19th, the newspaper issued a notice of publication suspension for two consecutive days, saying, "According to the requirements of adjusting the orientation of newspapers and optimizing the structure of newspapers and periodicals, it was decided through research that the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Newspaper will be closed from September 21st, 2015."

On September 21st, the front page of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan newspaper was closed.

This special issue named "A Brief History of News" consists of 8 editions. In addition to publishing the closing words and displaying the front pages of 24 previous issues, several employees of the former Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Newspaper are invited to write or edit the edition, which is divided into two sections: "Xiangjiang River is not corrupt" and "Qian Shan alone".

Liu Yuan, a former executive editor-in-chief of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Daily, revealed in Weibo that on the afternoon of 20th, he made a farewell special issue with former colleagues of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Daily who rushed back from various places to see off this beloved newspaper. "We come and go with dignity."

According to public information, Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan Newspaper belongs to xiaoxiang morning herald Society and was renamed from the previous Hunan Economic Newspaper. It was officially launched on June 6, 2011 and distributed simultaneously in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, Hunan.

More than four years later, this newspaper was fixed in the 1454th issue.

"In the past four years, it has recorded the morning dew and sunset of the city, adhering to the belief that’ Xiangjiang River does not rot my way and is not alone’, and it has promoted the civilization and progress of the city bit by bit. We used to do our best, and we tried our best. " The newspaper wrote this in its closing remarks.

In 2014, Hunan’s state-owned cultural resources were reorganized on a large scale. The Propaganda Department of Hunan Provincial Party Committee called the heads of major media and cultural enterprises in the province to announce the "Reform Plan for Deepening the Management System of State-owned Cultural Assets in the Province". According to this plan, newspapers and periodicals such as xiaoxiang morning herald, Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, Legal Weekly, Golden Eagle and Contemporary Business Newspaper will be placed under the management of Hunan Daily Newspaper Group Co., Ltd.

At that time, some insiders analyzed that due to the conflict in the positioning of newspapers under the Hunan Daily Newspaper Group, it was imperative for some newspapers to suspend publication.

According to the report of shanghai securities news, the basic idea of this plan, which has been brewing for nearly a year, is similar to that of Shanghai: under the premise of effective public opinion management, intensive management, specialization and large-scale production will be carried out, horizontal competition will be eliminated, and cultural media enterprises with advantages will become bigger and stronger.

In recent years, the domestic traditional paper media have accelerated their "death", and many newspapers, including Evening News, Competitive Newspaper, Daily News and Life News, have stopped publishing or closed down one after another.
