The Church of England Newspaper, one of the longest-running faith-based publications in the world, ended its print production months after the passing of its owner and key financial backer, Keith Young.
The newspaper, founded by a group of young evangelical clergy in 1828 as The Record, had been a fixture in Anglican news coverage for nearly two centuries.
The publication’s editor, Andrew Carey, announced last week that the brand had to “review its operations” after Young’s death on February 23, aged 86. Young was “generously the sole provider of additional finance to continue supporting the paper,” Carey said.
Newsweek has reached out to Carey for additional comment.
