Three California community newspapers to close amid coronavirus

California Times, the parent company of the Los Angeles Times, will close down three of its five community newspapers in the LA metropolitan area, affecting about 14 people.

The move will shutter the 105-year-old Glendale News-Press, the Burbank Leader, which traces its roots to 1908, and the La Canada Valley Sun, founded in 1945.

The three papers were distributed free and supported through ads at a time when advertising has largely evaporated due to the coronavirus pandemic.

News-Press and Leader will publish their final editions on April 18, and Valley Sun will publish its last edition on April 23.

Two surviving weeklies, the Daily Pilot and TimesOC, will continue publishing in Orange County.
