8th Army Cancels the Morning Calm Newspaper
Just another example of how newspapers are going extinct:
The final edition of the Morning Calm, the last surviving Army newspaper in South Korea, ran off the press Wednesday evening.
A peninsula-wide institution, the biweekly Morning Calm detailed the lives of soldiers from Busan in the south to Camp Casey near the Demilitarized Zone.
It went the same way as many struggling newspapers in a wired world of instant shares and likes when Eighth Army commander Lt. Gen. Michael Bills declined to renew its contract this month.
Closing the paper will give public affairs staff more time to focus on local news and communicate with communities online, Camp Humphreys spokesman Bob McElroy said.
“They all felt that the time they devoted to the paper would be better used to focus on their communities rather than producing articles and photos that were outdated by the time the paper came out every two weeks,” he said. [Stars & Stripes]

The workers all quite and there are no proper man to delivery newspaper. Charles who is the owner of oriental press ignored his staffs financial inquiry and this is how the newspaper extinct.
