Arizona Jewish Post shuts down after 75 years
(JTA) The
Arizona Jewish Post, a 75-year-old community publication covering the Jewish population of Tucson and southern Arizona, announced it would cease operations effective March 1.
The Jewish Community Federation of Southern Arizona, which owns and operates the
Post, announced the closure in an email to subscribers this week. The letter cited declines in ad revenue and readership, loss of philanthropic support and the COVID-19 pandemic as factors that contributed to the Post’s “unsustainable position.”
The letter was signed by the federation’s CEO, Graham Hoffman, and COO, Lindsey Baker, who noted that “our community’s communications,” including “local stories, lifecycle events, and obituaries,” would “be delivered via alternative vehicles.”
