U.S. local papers: One goes online-only, other up for sale

The Crossroads Journal, a locally owned monthly newspaper in Browns Summit, has just ended all print editions and is now only available online, the Greensboro Telegram reported Sunday.

The tabloid-style newspaper has been printed since 1999, serving U.S. communities in the North Carolina counties of Guilford and Alamance counties.

The newspaper touted that it “crossed counties and communities” to collect news while serving small towns, according to the Greensboro Telegram.
