BAGUIO CITY – Baguio Midland Courier, a prominent newspaper in this city and the oldest in the Cordillera region, will close on July 22 after 77 years in circulation.
Newsmen and newsstands were caught by surprise and expressed sadness over the closure.
"Every week, it used to be that Midland was the first to be bought and during the day my 300 copies were sold out. It's sad because many newspapers are closing down and we vendors are getting less and less, because others are changing jobs, because they are no longer making money selling newspapers," a vendor said.
