Lebanon's only English-language daily stops print edition

Lebanon's only English-language newspaper announced on Tuesday that it was temporarily suspending its print edition because of financial challenges as the country passes through its worst economic crisis in decades.

The Daily Star said its website and social media platforms would continue work as usual "to offer first-rate news coverage and content from Lebanon, the Middle East and beyond."
The Daily Star said in a statement that a drop to virtually no advertising revenues in the last quarter of 2019 and January this year "compounded the already dire financial situation that has ravaged Lebanese newspapers with the rise of digital media."
