MLive Ends Print Newspapers Forever | Grand Rapids News

MLive Media Group is shutting down print newspapers across West Michigan by December, ending decades of physical delivery for titles like The Grand Rapids Press and The Kalamazoo Gazette. With 99% of readers now consuming news online — and digital subscriptions far outpacing print — the move makes financial sense. Community leaders admit nostalgia for paper doesn’t match demand, and MLive joins Advance Local’s growing list of digital-only transitions, from Alabama to New Jersey. The last printed editions hit mailboxes on Dec. 6 — but all content remains available online, reflecting how deeply media has shifted into the digital age.
