The Greenwich Journal and Salem Press (New York ) is ceasing to publish following
the death of owner Craig Phalen, the Times Union reported.
Phalen died
at age 44 Oct. 21, the paper reported. Phalen and his wife Meghan bought the
paper in 2014. “On Monday, October 21, my husband passed away suddenly,” Meghan
Phalen wrote in the last edition. “He was young, too young, but his big heart
simply gave out. My heart feels like it nearly gave out as well, and now I am
left to face the future alone.”
“We have
financially supported the paper for years,” Meghan Phalen wrote.
The paper
launched as The Journal Press in 1842.
“We're
hoping to find someone to take it over,” said daughter Cait Johnson.
