A statement from Roger Diss, owner and editor of The Tenerife Sun:

Due to the retirement of the owner, Roger Diss, this is the last issue of The Tenerife Sun under his management. The title will continue, however, under the management of Paul Knight, who is determined to maintain the quality and readability of the popular newspaper. It is expected that the first issue under the new management will appear on Thursday, March 20, 2008, providing regular readers with all the news and features they have enjoyed over the years.
Roger Diss expressed his thanks to all the loyal readers and advertisers who gave so much support and encouragement throughout his 10-year managing editorship and wishes the new management well in continuing the endeavour.
