Northeast Ohio Newspaper Guild Local 1

On June 17, 1982, The Cleveland Press abruptly ceased publication, leaving The Plain Dealer as the city’s only daily paper. And while decades of the PD have been digitally archived, much of The Press has not.

Ten Plain Dealer journalists are leaving the newsroom after recent layoffs and a change in direction for the Cleveland paper. Twenty-two staffers were laid off at the end of last week. On Tuesday, the paper announced most of the remaining 14 journalists would be taken off their established beats and shifted to focus on five outlying counties. Now, 10 of those staffers are resigning from the paper.
