“Because of the sea change newspapers everywhere are undergoing and
these dire economic times, it is essential that our management and the

executive, and Steven R. Swartz, president of Hearst Newspapers, said
in a joint statement.

loss of classified advertising to Craigslist and other online sites.
The problems have been exacerbated by the current recession.
