The Vindicator (Youngstown ,
Ohio
“Due to great financial hardships, we spent
the last year searching for a buyer to continue to operate The Vindicator and
preserve as many jobs as possible while maintaining the paper’s voice in the
community. That search has been unsuccessful,” wrote Publisher Betty H.
Brown Jagnow and General Manager Mark A. Brown in a June 28 note to readers.
“It is with broken hearts that we say goodbye and a final thank you,” they
wrote. The note thanked readers, advertisers, carriers and staff.
The paper has seen four generations of
Maag-Brown family ownership.
The note detailed efforts made to save the
paper, including attacking expenses with the cooperation of the paper’s staff
and unions, investing in new presses to become more competitive, raising the
price of the newspaper. The paper continued to operate at a loss, the note said.
