Suburban, is one of the Zimpapers publications which have managed to remain afloat following the substitution of print copies with e-papers, to maintain visibility in the wake of the decision to stop printing some newspapers after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in March last year.

This has seen the newspaper contribute to the group’s overall digital revenues and profits following its full migration from a print to an e-paper, eliminating printing and distribution costs for the hard copy.

E-distribution of content through WhatsApp, email and the website has enabled the newspaper to continue reaching readers and advertisers.
