The Cottage Grove Sentinel announced it would shut down after its Oct. 28 edition, ending a newspaper history dating to 1889, KLCC reports. The Oregon weekly cited a sharp decline in revenue.
According to the closure announcement, ownership had considered shutting the newspaper since April but continued publishing while making a final effort to increase advertising. Parent company Country Media also owns seven other Oregon newspapers, mostly serving coastal communities. The company did not respond to KLCC’s requests for comment.
