Fairfax Media, the owner of the publication formerly known as Business Review Weekly, decided last month to axe the 32-year-old institution.

It will now shift to a digital platform, with the Rich List and other premium content migrating to the Financial Review.

 

Fairfax says the decision was forced by consumers preference for digital platforms, and a fragmenting advertising market.
