Freedom Communications has decided to close the East Valley Tribune in Mesa, Arizona after failing to find a buyer. The newspaper employs about 140 people and had already trimmed staff and a reduced its printing schedule to try to trim costs.
The Tribune won a Pulitzer Prize for local reporting this year.
Freedom, which is the parent company of the Orange County Register, filed for bankruptcy in August.
