Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 12:25am on Tuesday, January 6th, 2009 | On December 13, 2008, the Philadelphia Daily News reported that the Northeast Breeze, along with the Northeast News Gleaner and the Olney Times, would shut down immediately:
"Without so much as a word of warning to their readers or employees, the Journal Register Co. on Thursday closed three longtime community newspapers in Philadelphia.
Staffers of the Olney Times, News Gleaner and Northeast Breeze were told all three weekly publications were going to be shut down immediately during an impromptu morning meeting, said Stuart London, the News Gleaner's sports editor.
London said publisher J. Wesley Rowe Jr. cited the struggling economy and an unsuccessful attempt by the Journal Register Co. to sell the papers when he delivered the grim news.
Journal Register Co. officials could not be reached for comment yesterday on the decision to close the papers.
Employees were aware of the Yardley, Pa.-based newspaper company's larger financial struggles. A month ago, the company - saddled with $650 million in debt and a forbearance agreement with its lenders - announced it would shutter two of its papers in Connecticut if buyers don't emerge by Jan. 12.
Still, Thursday's announcement of the Philadelphia closures came as a shock. No one realized the papers had been for sale or in danger of perishing.
