Death of a big-city newspaper

July 17, 2007 - 11:18am — yelvington

E&P reports that the Cincinnati Post will shut down at the end of the year, when its joint operating agreement with the Cincinnati Inquirer expires. The Post's circulation has declined from 188,000 some 30 years ago to 27,000 weekdays today. For whatever reasons, E.W. Scripps Co. won't attempt to keep the brand alive by continuing to operate the newspaper's website.
