The PA8 weekly newspaper group owned by the Journal Register Co. is now the PA3 with the folding of 5 local weekly papers. Four Chester County papers, including the Oxford Tribune, Coatesville Ledger, Parkesburg Press and Downingtown Ledger, ceased publication last week. The closings also end the combined Classified Section that ran in all the PA8 weeklies.
It is expected that the weekly closings are just a beginning for the Journal Registry Company and more closings and consolidations are right over the horizon.
