Formerly distributed in print form each week on Thursdays, the final print version of the alternative-weekly newspaper was published on July 3, 2019.[1] The publication was acquired by *[The Columbus Dispatch](/source/The_Columbus_Dispatch)* in the first half of 2006 and the circulation at that time was approximately 55,000. In 2015, the *Dispatch* was acquired by [New Media Investment Group](/source/New_Media_Investment_Group), which later became [Gannett](/source/Gannett).[2] Circulation had fallen to 32,000 copies by 2019, which according to editor Andy Downing made the newspaper "no longer sustainable" in print form. On May 31, 2022, it was [announced](https://www.instagram.com/p/CeOcfZ_r3C6/)[*[dead link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Link_rot)*] that the final edition would be published on June 3, 2022. Before the paper was sold, the publisher was Sally Crane (of the Crane Plastics family). In the early 2000s, while still operated by Crane, the paper had significant gay and lesbian, environmental, and political reporting and commentary, including the columns of [Harvey Wasserman](/source/Harvey_Wasserman) and [Bob Fitrakis](/source/Bob_Fitrakis).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Roth, Clare.
