Newspaper in this storied California town is down to zero reporters

The 152-year-old Californian employed only one journalist until December. That’s when the paper’s last reporter quit to take a job in TV. The departure marked the latest and perhaps final step in a slow-motion unwinding of what used to be the principal local news source in Salinas, a city of 163,000 that was the hometown of John Steinbeck, the Nobel Prize-winning novelist who once worked as a war correspondent.
