Chronicle Week newspaper

The owners of a Lichfield newspaper have confirmed it has ceased publication.

The Chronicle Week had launched in October 2020 promising to deliver 14,000 copies to homes in across the city.

But a message printed in the latest edition of the free weekly paper confirmed it would be the last.

> “The Midland News Association made the difficult decision to cease publication of the edition following a review of its portfolio.”  
>  
> Chronicle Week closure statement

It is the latest newspaper to bite the dust after [the Lichfield Mercury closed after more than 200 years](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2020/08/06/lichfield-mercury-to-close-after-205-years/) in the wake of the pandemic, while the final edition of The Lichfield Post rolled off the presses in 2009.
