# Third Sector to be digital only from October - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2022/07/22/third-sector-to-be-digital-only-from-october/ - Published: 2022-07-22T15:43:54+01:00 - Author: Melanie May **Haymarket’s Third Sector has announced that from October this year it will be digital only, with an end to its print magazine.** The magazine launched in 1990 as a fortnightly title before going weekly when it was acquired by Haymarket in 2002. In 2014 it went monthly and then bi-monthly, before moving to a quarterly circulation during the pandemic. According to Haymarket, demand for the print version had continued to fall with a subscriber survey at the end of 2021 showing that only one in five readers said it was of vital importance to their subscription. This, combined with increased printing and posting costs along with a move by Haymarket to reduce carbon emissions and push digital transformation across its brands has driven the decision. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert.
