GateHouse Media has announced the closure of three of its publications in Southern Illinois.

The West Frankfort Daily American, which is delivered five times per week, the Murphysboro American, which is delivered once per week, and the Money Stretcher, which is a weekly free shopper distributed throughout several counties in Southern Illinois will cease publication the week of May 10, 2015.

In a statement GateHouse cites the reason for the stoppage of these three publications as “challenging economic conditions in the markets these publications serve.”
