Tucson Citizen ceases its print publication Saturday

Arizona’s oldest paper, the Tucson Citizen, will cease it’s print publication after Saturday’s edition.
The paper reports that the Citizen’s Web site will continue, but will be modified as an opinion site, eliminating news and sports reporting.
Gannett, the company which owns the Citizen, searched for a buyer for the paper and for the last month employees waited for the results of negotiations.
Ultimately, no buyers were found.
Employees will be informed today if they will be laid off, kept on staff for a transitional basis or hired full time.
