Kota Kinabalu: The New Sabah Times will print its final edition today (Thursday), stopping the presses for good after more than six decades as one of the State’s oldest and reputable news sources.
The newspaper’s managing editor, Felix Gusti, said a sharp drop in circulation and falling ad revenue were the main reasons for the closure.
It was earlier scheduled to close on Dec 20, but Gusti said the company wanted to finish its newsprint before closing today (Thursday).
