Free weekly suspends publication in Paris, London

Free weekly magazine Sport has suspended its Paris and London editions this month, Newspaper Innovation reported today.

It is unclear whether the closure, which resulted in 24 job losses in London, is definitive. A press release on the London edition's site stated, "we are hoping to carry on the magazine and we are currently looking for further funding."

The press release attributed the magazine's decision in "suspending operations" to the magazine's French parent company going "into administration." Sport's London circulation was approximately 320,000 and its Paris readership counted about half a million.
