"As many of you are aware, the newspaper industry faces troubling financial times and an even more uncertain future," the statement reads. "We’ve made changes in recent months that we hoped would allow us to adapt, but it has become clear that those changes are not enough."
Its final issue is scheduled for Dec. 5.
The newspaper said on its website it plans to contact subscribers, advertisers and other partners over the next few weeks to discuss details of its plans to close.
