The Davis Clipper to shutdown; cease publication in December

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Managers of a weekly newspaper in northern Utah have announced it will stop publication and close down, saying its business model no longer works. The Salt Lake Tribune reported that the Dec. 4 edition of The Davis Clipper will be its last after 129 years of publication. The website will also shut down. Publisher R. Gail Stahle said in a statement that the Bountiful-based paper has reported on life in Davis County under three generations of the Stahle family. Stahle said the 11 full-time employees and multiple stringers were notified of the decision last week. Stahle said the decision comes as the newspaper struggled over the past decade with declining revenue from advertising and subscriptions.
