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.
