On Brink of Closure, California Weekly Points Finger at Gannett

A very nasty newspaper battle in the central California town of Visalia appears to be drawing to a close. Per an announcement in the Valley Voice, the current edition will be the publication’s last, barring an “eleventh-hour development.”

Originally a monthly when launched in 1979, the Voice switched to bi-monthly and then again in 2007 to a more aggressive weekly publication schedule. The most recent change came about after the paper won a lawsuit with Gannett-owned competitor the Visalia Times-Delta that granted the Voice access to local legal ad channels.
