The Offaly Independent has become Ireland's first major paid-for provincial newspaper to switch to the freesheet model. From this week the paper will no longer be available at newsagents. Instead, 15,000 copies will be distributed free of chargeto homes and supermarkets. The move is due to a restructuring by its owners, Celtic Media, which last week announced job cuts.
