After 92 years of printing afternoon editions, The Evansville Press will cease publication New Year's Eve.
Publisher Robert Hartmann of Hartmann Publications made the announcement Thursday at a meet-ing of the newspaper's staff."This is a sad day for all of us at The Press and, I think, for many in the community," said Bill Jackson, editor of The Press.
The move had been anticipated since 1993 when E.W. Scripps Co., the owner of The Evansville Courier, announced that it would not extend the joint operating agreement between the two papers. The agreement expires Dec. 31.
