The Munising News (Michigan) and the Alger County Shopper will stop publishing at the end of March, the Daily Mining Gazette (Houghton, Michigan) reported.
Willie and Nancy Peterson own the weekly paper.
Willie Peterson pointed to“lack of employees,” on the closure, citing unemployment benefits related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the paper said.
“We pay them $400 a week to stay home,” Willie Peterson said. “You look at our ‘Help Wanted’ section. It’s full.”
Peterson said the paper paid competitive wages, said the Daily Mining Gazette.
