Missouri’s Carthage Press shuts down



The Carthage Press has ceased publication.

The Missouri paper, which first published in 1884, saw its last day of publication on Aug. 29, the Joplin Globe 
reported. 

The paper’s front page thanked the people of Carthage and Jasper counties.

"As Southwest Missouri's oldest daily newspaper, it's been a privilege serving the Carthage communities for all these years," Joseph Leon
g, senior group publisher, wrote in a letter to readers. "While we transition our focus, we remain committed to serving neighboring communities."

The Neosho Daily News will cover important Carthage news, the letter said. GateHouse media owns both papers. 

Subscribers will get refunds within 30 days for what’s left on their subscriptions, the letter says.
