LINDALE \u00e2\u20ac\u201c The Lindale News & Times recently announced that the newspaper is closing down after 124 years of covering the area. According to our news partner KETK, the paper\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s publisher says that the paper lost money for five years straight before it was decided to shut it down.<\/p>\n
Jim Bardwell, the paper\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s publisher, said that much of the advertising for Lindale\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s small businesses has moved into print magazines and social media platforms like Facebook. Decline in local news outlets is accelerating despite efforts to help. The shift to online advertising led the paper to launch a digital version which ended up having more subscribers than their physical newspapers but even that wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t enough, according to Bardwell.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why we also have a digital version of the paper each week. And we have many digital subscribers. Actually many more than print subscribers. The cost is the same, but they get their news much quicker. But again \u00e2\u20ac\u201c no ad revenue means no newspaper,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Bardwell.<\/p>\n
