Julia Reischel is reporting at the Watershed Post the Schoharie News has thrown in the towel after 13 weeks of publication. The News was an online-only news website that reinvented itself as a print weekly broadsheet earlier this year. The paper's owner, editor and founder Timothy Knight, said he decided to close the paper after realizing he was making less than half of what he made while working at a local deli. Knight wrote in a closing editor's note posted Tue., Aug. 25:

The paper's finances were in rough shape and my sanity was teetering on the verge of being totally lost, due to overworking and lack of reward. A labor of love does not come remotely close to describing how soul crushing it was to invest so much time (40-50 hours per week) for so little payoff (often less than $200 per paycheck), because that's all the business could afford....So, in retrospect, was it worth the trouble? The answer is: Absolutely yes.

The passing of the paper leaves Schoharie County with a single dedicated print weekly, the Times Journal. Read the full story at the Watershed Post.

Knight spoke with Tom Roe in March 2014 on the WGXC Morning Show about plans to create a Schoharie News print edition (14:50):
