Final edition: Two south of Scotland newspapers close
Two south of Scotland newspapers will roll off the printing presses for the last time this week.
The Hawick News and Selkirk Weekend Advertiser are being axed by owners JPI Media to cut costs.
The company says the move is to protect its "long-term stability of the business."
No jobs will be lost as a result of the closures, with affected staff set to be moved to other JPI newspapers.
A further eight regional titles across the UK are also set to be discontinued including:
Morley Observer and Advertiser
Tyrone Times
Epworth Bells
Worthing Advertiser
Glasgow South and Eastwood Extra
Portsmouth View
Wharfe Valley Time
The Hayling Islander
