The Post newspapers in Cincinnati and Kentucky printed their final editions yesterday, ending a 126-year run.

The front-page headline in the last Kentucky Post proclaimed "-30-," a symbol used by journalists, printers, and telegraphers to signal the end of a dispatch.

It rolled off the presses about an hour after its sister Cincinnati Post ended publication.

The two papers, which were published in the afternoon, have been struggling for decades, part of a national trend.

Afternoon newspapers have always had a special place in my life, it is sad to see them fade into history.

For the past 35 years The Kentuky Post has been our friend, printing the press releases I have sent them. Reporter coming to my home to get stories.
Received a nice E-mail:
Hi Phyllis,
This is our last day. they turn off phones and email today
I just wanted to say thanks for all your years of helping to tell Northern Kentucky's stories.
You've been such a help and partner - like one of the famiy. I'll miss you.
If, for any reason, you need to reach me, you can catch me at
Thanks again,

Not often people are so dedicated they remember you when you can't do any more for them. It was a wonderful relationship. Our area's events won't be covered as well without them. The Kentucky Post will ge greatly missed.
