Starbucks ditches print newspapers

The massive Starbucks coffee chain has ditched newspapers from its stores and, instead, offers free access to digital news platforms, as the in-store sign indicates.

This move makes sense in terms of space use, waste and the digital engagement with customers.

For newspapers more broadly, it is another step in the retreat from print. All that is up for speculation now is timing in my view.
