下文節錄自香港《文匯報》報道：「擁有30年歷史的英國著名報章《獨立報》，3月25日出版最後一份印刷報紙，內容包括4個回顧其歷史的特輯。報章社論寫道，《獨立報》由傳統紙媒『大膽轉型為網媒』，為全球報紙立下典範，又稱《獨立報》歷史即將揭開新一頁，精神依然長存。
《獨立報》記者在互聯網上載影片，顯示各員工按古老傳統敲桌歡送同僚。《獨立報》於1986年創立，素以搶眼及具爭議性的頭版和照片見稱，最高峰時期每日出報逾42萬份，但近年網媒崛起，銷量跌至僅每日4萬份。老闆列別傑夫上月宣佈停印報章，表示新聞業面貌全變，紙媒也要與時並進，因此需轉戰電子報。
《獨立報》網站全球有近7,000萬訂戶，母公司ESI媒體集團已推出新訂閱App，讓客戶閱讀虛擬印刷版報章，並估計以2,500萬英鎊（約2.74億港元）出售2010年起出版的姊妹報《i》，再注資旗下網媒。」

Going digital, The Independent stops print
因此全段可英譯如下：The 30-year-old British newspaper The Independent published its last print edition on March 25, including four features looking back at its history. Its final editorial said the "bold transition" of The Independent from traditional newspaper to online media had set an example for other newspapers around the world to follow, while the paper would turn a new chapter in its history and its spirit would flourish still.
Staff at The Independent posted a video online about banging desks, an old tradition to mark the departure of colleagues. Founded in 1986, The Independent has been well-known for its eye-catching and controversial front pages and photos. At the peak of its popularity, it had a circulation of over 420,000 per day, which dropped to only 40,000 due to the rise of online media in recent years. The newspaper's owner Evgeny Lebedev announced the closure of the print edition last month, saying that the operations of journalism had entirely changed such that the newspaper should also keep pace with the times and turn to the digital format.
The website of The Independent has nearly 70 million subscribers worldwide, and its holding company ESI Media has also launched a new subscription app offering a virtual print edition. The company is also going to sell off "i", a sister publication launched in 2010, with an estimated price of £25 million (approximately HK$274 million), while the money received will then be invested in its online media.■龐嘉儀
