Arizona paper to shut down

The East Valley Tribune in Mesa, Arizona will stop publishing both its print and online editions on Dec. 31. About 140 people will lose their jobs.

E&P reports Freedom Communications, the paper’s parent company had put the Tribune up for sale but failed to get decent offers. Facing a $770 million debt, the company filed for bankruptcy protection in August.

The Tribune this year won a Pulitzer for local reporting.
