Publication of Cory-Moon Record ceases
Trib Total Media will cease publication of the Coraopolis-Moon Record after this edition.
"It saddens me to close the Coraopolis-Moon Record, but consumers and advertisers have been telling us that they want different approaches to local news and advertising," said Ralph Martin, President and CEO of Trib Total Media. "These communities, which at one point were much more insulated from the greater Pittsburgh area, are really part of the fabric of the larger community, and we recognize that their news needs often extend beyond their municipal borders. The Neighborhoods section that we publish Thursdays in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has really taken off and reflects that many readers in these communities see themselves as part of a greater whole."
Readers and advertisers still will have access to local news and targeted advertising opportunities through Trib Total Media. Readers will continue to get news and community information through their local news Web site -- yourmoontownship.com.
Pennysaver products reach virtually every household in Allegheny County each week and beginning next week, will be produced in a bigger, classified format with more color.
Gateway weeklies are part of the Trib Total Media portfolio, which includes seven daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, magazines and Web sites that provide news throughout Western Pennsylvania.

It saddens me to read of this happening to a paper that has been around all the years of my growing up in Coraopolis, (wayyyyy back in the 50's) Feel certain, I am not the only one who has this feeling. Even when I grew up and moved away, when my brother came to visit, he would bring me back issues.... Then computers came into my world.......I could read all the news for myself. What a wonderful feeling, to think I could live so far away and still keep abreast of the news from my home town.
How could anything that brings such sadness to so many, be called..."progress" ???
Subscriptions to the Cory-Moon Record have been transferred to the Sunday Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. The Sunday edition includes news, entertainment, lifestyle, travel, sports and features. It is value packed with ads, sale fliers, manufacturer coupons and offers the area's only TV Magazine with complete 24-hour listings.
Additionally, Trib staff members we are in the process of contacting subscribers with an offer to receive the Thursday and Sunday editions for the same price as the Cory-Moon Record subscription with no additional payment. Thursday’s edition includes a Neighborhood section and Ticket entertainment magazine with news and information about events, festivals, music, movies, dining out and more.
It is a shame that the Tribune Review decided to cease publication of this newspaper. Having written for the Record back in the late 70's and early 80's. I find it sad that local newspapers have become tombstones because of corporate takeovers. However, I guess this paper would have died years ago if the Trib had not taken it over.
