THE free Glasgow newspaper produced by the publishers of the Daily Record, Glasgow Now, is to become available as a digital-only product.
The weekly paper – which had previously been known as the Glaswegian – will appear for one last time in print form on Wednesday, on the same day glasgownow.co.uk is launched.
Earlier this year, the weekly Edinburgh Now and Aberdeen Now – which each came free with the relevant geographical editions of the Daily Record – were turned into digital-only, as noted here on allmediascotland.com.
Glasgow Now became the new name of the Glaswegian last year – as noted, here.

SEEN anything you think readers of www.allmediascotland.com should be made aware of? Then just send the weblink to here and we’ll do the rest. All suggestions gratefully received. We’re back at noon on Monday.
PS Your Noon Briefing is a relatively new venture for allmediascotland.com. We are no longer going to report news, story-by-story. Instead, we are going to find content we hope will be useful, in the belief it will prove to be a more comprehensive service.
