Well, there ya have it. I'm the first one to admit we just lost the romance of holding the printed page.  But, as with all good romances with inanimate objects, this one too must come to an end. I'm sorry, but there you have it.
 

Thank you for making the digital switch with me. This has been a heartbreaking transition and the primary way I am dealing with the sadness is knowing that an extremely high percentage of our subscribers are sticking with us. Thank you. Plus, no matter how sad the death of the physically printed newspaper makes me, the decision was so right, I must put the heartbreak in perspective.
 

We needed to clean out the clogged news pipeline the last several days, which is why you are seeing a tremendous amount of content flowing from the PP. This will level out in the next day or so and then you can plan on regular emails nearly every day with the news that is hitting that day.

 
The Pioneer Press was founded Nov. 16, 1972 by  Gary Mortenson and was adjudicated as a newspaper of general circulation (Former USPS 970-340) by court decree No. 26666 and was originally entered as a periodical paid at Post Office of Fort Jones, CA 96032 in June of 1973 under the Act of March 3, 1887.  On June 9, 2010 the Pioneer Press published its last hard-copy printed weekly edition and began distributing its news daily in a digital format on June 25, 2010. Daniel Webster purchased the Pioneer Press on July 1, 1998 and currently the 100% owner of the publication.  The Pioneer Press is the legal publication for the Town of Fort Jones, City of Etna, City of Dorris, and City of Tulelake and publishes all public notices for those cities. The Pioneer Press is the successor to the Klamath Courier, Butte Valley Star, Tri-County Courier, Lost River Star, The Dorris Weekly Advocate, The Dorris Times, The Dorris Booster, The Butte Valley News, and The Butte Valley Herald.
