The Houston Press’ 28-year run as the region’s alternative weekly ended at approximately 3 p.m. on Friday, when the nine full-time editorial staff members learned they had lost their jobs and print publication would cease.
The newspaper’s parent company cited declining ad revenue and “devastation” from Hurricane Harvey. The Press, one of the nation’s first alt weeklies to have an online presence, will continue as a web-only product.
