Orange County Weekly closes




The free OC Weekly, a paper covering Orange County and Long Beach, has ceased production.
“Today, the day before Thanksgiving, our owner Duncan McIntosh Company has decided to shut us down,” said a Nov. 27 tweet on the paper’s Twitter account. “For the last quarter century, we’ve tried to bring good stories to Orange County. It’s been fun, but now we’re done.”
The paper had a 19-person staff as shown on its masthead, according to The Wrap.
The paper goes back to 1995. It had a circulation of 45,000 and reached more than 503,000 active readers, the Wrap reported. California-based Duncan McIntosh Company bought the paper in 2016 from the Village Voice’s owner.
DMC owns Sea Magazine, Boating World and other properties.
