The Sept. 30 edition of the Waycross Journal-Herald
(Georgia) will be the final edition, the publisher said, according to The Brunswick News.
The paper
is 105 years old.
Publisher Roger
Williams, whose family has owned the paper since his grandfather purchased it
in 1916, said his siblings and other stockholders would have had to drain their
personal finances to keep the paper going, the Brunswick paper said.
Williams
said he informed employees Friday. “We told them what the situation was. I hate
it, but we didn’t have any recourse,’’ Williams said, according to The
Brunswick News.
The family
attempted to sell the newspaper and had two offers, but both collapsed.
