As local businesses are shifting to major national retailers, the desire for local targeted advertising is decreasing. Despite an array of loyal readers in print and online, the Weekly Press cannot support itself amid the shifting trends.
Following this, the publication has decided that it will be discontinuing the publication of The Laker and The Weekly Press effective immediately.
“The area is thriving with a growing population and new community assets. The time has come for new business models. We thank our readers for years of support. We will be watching as you grow,” concluded the publication.
