More Newspapers Shutting Down

The Valley Independent in Monessen and The Daily News in McKeesport PA will shut down on Dec. 31

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Trib Total Media is closing two of its western Pennsylvania newspapers after failing to sell them, leaving 87 employees out of work.

The company says in a statement Wednesday that The Valley Independent in Monessen and The Daily News in McKeesport will shut down on Dec. 31.

Jennifer Bertetto, the company's president and CEO, says they've been trying to sell the papers since August but "nothing ever came to fruition."
