Pressman Jim Herron looks over a final edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer as it comes off the press Monday, March 16, 2009, at the printing plant of The Seattle Times in Bothell, Wash., where the paper has been published. Hearst Corp., which owns the 146-year-old P-I, said Monday that it failed to find a buyer for the newspaper, which it put up for a 60-day sale in January after years of losing money and will print its final edition Tuesday, March 17. SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Post-Intelligencer published a thick commemorative issue tracing the history of Seattle’s oldest newspaper as its final print edition.
The last edition of the P-I began rolling off the presses at a suburban printing plant shortly after 10 p.m. Monday.
The front page of the commemorative section featured a headline saying, “You’ve meant the world to us,” and a photo of the 30-foot neon globe atop the P-I’s building, which has a slogan rotating around the equator saying, “It’s in the P-I.”
The paper was to be delivered wrapped with 20 to 24 pages of photos and stories on the P-I’s 146-year-old history.
The P-I announced Monday it would become an Internet-only news outlet, making it the largest American newspaper to shift entirely to the Web.
