Weekly N.C. Newspaper The Garner Citizen Goes Web-Only

Three-year-old weekly North Carolina newspaper The Garner Citizen published its last print edition March 14, but publisher Barry E. Moore will continue to operate its website.

Moore told The Raleigh Telegram some 1,000 subscribers received the print edition of The Garner Citizen, while more than 10,000 read it online, so continuing the print edition made no sense, adding that distribution and design costs were the issue, not print costs.

From the “obituary” published in The Garner Citizen:

The Garner Citizen, formerly known as The Garner Citizen News & Times, passed away unexpectedly Monday, March 14, 2011.
