Stabroek News, a Guyanese independent newspaper, will stop print publishing on March 15, 2026, due to declining ad revenue and financial losses, transitioning to digital-only.

Stabroek News, a Guyanese independent newspaper founded in 1986, will cease print operations on March 15, 2026, after more than 39 years, citing a 75% decline in print advertising since 2004 and ongoing financial losses. The closure, announced by chairman Brendan de Caires, follows years of challenges including unpaid government debts exceeding G$80 million, difficulty diversifying into broadcast media, and a shrinking print market. The paper, which emerged as a rare voice of independent journalism in a state-dominated media landscape, will transition to digital-only content, with plans to support staff through the shift.
