After seven years, the English-language daily Jakarta Globe published its last print edition on Tuesday, marking the paper’s complete tranformation into an online publication, reports the Jakarta Post.

The Globe prepared its print edition for Tuesday with the headline story titled “A Last Hurrah… And a New Beginning”.

“As the Jakarta Globe moves online, we look back at a memorable and award-winning seven years in print,” the paper’s publisher Berita Satu Media Holdings wrote on the front page.

First hitting the newstands on November 12, 2008, the Globe initally came out with an average of 48 pages a day. In recent months, in preparation for its move online, the Globe began publishing abridged versions of all the stories in its print edition and recommended readers access the complete versions on its website jakartaglobe.beritasatu.com

The newspaper’s owner, PT Jakarta Globe Media, is part of BeritaSatu Media Holdings, an associated company of Lippo.

On Sunday, current and former Globe journalists started the hashtag #jglasthurrah as a testimonial to their time at the paper, while others used the hashtag to upload photos of their work in preparing the paper’s final edition.
