Chilean daily goes online only

The Chilean daily newspaper La Nación is to abandon its print edition from next month in favour of going online only. Its publisher explained that the print edition sells 10,000 copies a day (many of which are given away) while its website LaNacion.cl has a million visits a month and is funded through advertising. It is not yet known whether the board will decide to charge readers for access. More than 69% of the shares in La Nación are owned by the Chilean government.
