"Los Angeles Register Abruptly Ceases Publication" New York Times September 24, 2014
NEW YORK — The Los Angeles Register, the daily newspaper started by entrepreneur Aaron Kushner in April, has abruptly shut down, ceasing publication with its Monday issue.
Monday evening, Kushner sent a memo to his employees announcing the news and published an article that ran on the Los Angeles Register’s front page.
“We launched in April with the ambition to tell the local stories that make Los Angeles great,” Kushner wrote. “Unfortunately, not enough readers took us up on our offering, and we have decided that today’s print edition will be the final one.”
The closure of the Register is a setback for Kushner, a publishing industry neophyte who dived headlong into newspapers at a challenging time for the industry, which is struggling with persistent declines in circulation and advertising. Kushner at one time had expressed interest in The Boston Globe.
