Mid-America Publishing to cease operations
Mid-America Publishing, the parent company of the Postville Herald, (Monona) Outlook and Calmar Courier has announced it will cease operations the first week of April.
The company's last day of business will be April 2.
"This has been a difficult week for our staff both locally and across the state of Iowa," Mid-America Regional Editor John Jensen said. "Dwindling readership and advertising revenue have taken their toll on newspapers across the nation for years. It is a sad time for both our company and the communities we serve."
The Herald, Outlook and Courier will publish their final editions under Mid-America ownership April 1. Mid-America is seeking new ownership for the publications, though as of March 27, no information was available regarding a possible sale.
The closure affects five full-time employees and multiple correspondents in northeast Iowa.
For information regarding subscriptions and advertising, please contact the Mid-America corporate office at 641-456-2585. Local staff will not be able to answer questions.
