Peninsula Clarion

On today’s episode of the Kenai Conversation, we’re joined by Erin Thompson, Jeff Helminiak and Jake Dye, formerly of the Peninsula Clarion to talk about their decision to resign from the paper and the future of local news on the Kenai Peninsula.

The Peninsula Clarion will go from two weekly issues to one, as new owner Carpenter Media Group executes layoffs at other papers.

Black Press Media officials said in a press release they will "continue delivering quality journalism and advertising solutions" at local newspapers. But it's unclear how exactly the sale could affect the company's three Alaska newspapers.

Black Press Media, owner of the Clarion and Homer News, is seeking a new owner and filed for creditor protection. A spokesperson said the company will continue publishing its newspapers during the restructuring process.

Early Saturday morning, the Peninsula Clarion's press ran for the last time. The paper's owner, Sound Publishing, announced that it will reduce from printing five days a week to two, and will be printed off-site.
