Citing steadily declining circulation figures, Lindsay Newspapers shut down the Journal just before a sale of the larger Herald-Tribune to the New York Times Company in late 1982 for an estimated $87 million.[1][3] The final circulation figure for the Journal was 5,337, about one-third of the paper's reach in the early 1960s.[4]

The paper's last date of publication was July 9, 1982.[3]
