Dayton City Paper shutting down, writers say
A Dayton newspaper that covered arts and entertainment in the Miami Valley did not publish its print edition on its regularly scheduled day this week.
Several sources told us the publication was ceasing operations.
TT Stern-Enzi, the Dayton City Paper’s longtime film critic, said the independent tabloid publisher Paul Noah told him of the decision this morning, Sept. 19.
“He told me it was closing,” Stern-Enzi said. “It is not totally surprising. The landscape is changing.”
Based in Cincinnati, Stern-Enzi has worked for The City Paper for about seven years and said he has a good relationship with Noah.
“I have probably been writing for the paper just as long as everyone,” said Stern-Enzi, also a writer for City Beat in Cincinnati. “I was there before Paul stepped in as publisher.”
Dayton City Paper writer Allyson Crawford lamented about the closure on her Facebook page as did the Dayton Blues Society.
