The team at new media project NewsShaft release statement after closure
THE past 12 months have been the most unpredictable, and perhaps most significant in Scotland’s recent history.

A continued deficit in resources, finances and overall support has ultimately led us to the crossroads at which we find ourselves. Which regrettably, must be the end of the line for NewsShaft .
