This is the best summary I could come up with:

The owners of the Whitehorse Star newspaper announced in the Friday edition of the paper that it will cease publication later this spring.

In January, co-owner Michele Pierce and former Star reporter Max Fraser launched a new strategy in an effort to keep the business afloat.

In a public letter shared Friday, Star owners said the decision to close came after the latest effort to sell the business fell through — and following years of financial difficulties.

Former reporter and Star editor Massey Padgam remembers his time there in the 1980s, in what he describes as the peak of print media.

The Star occasionally received criticism for its under-moderated comments section and controversial letters to the editor.

The paper's owners ended their letter on Friday with the outlet's mock-Latin motto, Illegitimus non Carborundum, or don't let the bastards grind you down.
