World's oldest newspaper now exists only online

The world's oldest newspaper exists now online only. Post-och Inrikes Tidningar, the world's oldest newspaper will no longer be printed on paper. It will be published online instead. Hans Holm, the chief editor of the paper for 20 years thought it is a cultural disaster. He also said it is sad when you have worked with it for so long and it has been around for so long. Post-och Inrikes Tidningar newspaper was founded in 1645. Olov Vikstrom, the current editor believed that the reading newspaper on the website would attract more readers/consumers.

It's a little disturbing to see the major newspaper gave up printing on paper to publish exclusively online. If the Post-och Inrikes Tidningar newspaper can do this, then all other popular newspaper companies would do the same in the future.
