Ecuador's Expreso newspaper closes print edition, cites state harassment

Expreso, a major Ecuadorian newspaper, has closed its print edition, with its president attributing the decision to 'state harassment' and warning that resisting 'another autocratic government is very complicated.' The closure signals a deteriorating media environment in Ecuador, raising concerns about press freedom under the current government. The claim of state harassment is asserted by the newspaper's leadership and not independently verified.
