Media24 to close key print editions after Competition Commission approval

# Media24 will close key print editions after receiving Competition Commission approval and finalising the sale of On the Dot, Soccer Laduma, and other assets to Novus Holdings. This restructuring includes shutting print editions of Beeld, Rapport, City Press, and Daily Sun by 31 December, with some titles moving exclusively online. Interim CEO Raj Lalbahadur emphasised Media24’s commitment to sustainable digital journalism amid shifting consumer trends. The restructuring initially risked 400 job losses, though editorial staff cuts were later rescinded.
