Cierra el último gratuito alemán

The number of countries with free dailies has witnessed a decline, dropping from 59 in 2008 to 56 in 2009 - and is a continuing trend: Lithuania and India have recently lost theirs, and the last German free daily, SZ Primetime, has announced its closure. (...) With this closure, the concept of the free German daily has all but evaporated. Ten free papers have tested the water since 1997, with some lasting no more than a couple of months, others more than twelve years.

The question now is, with the last free daily in Germany closing; will anything pop up to take its place?
