RIP Garment & Citizen: Lack of ad revenue shuts down community newspaper
Jerry Sullivan, Off-Ramp contributor and founder, editor, and publisher of the LA Garment and Citizen newspaper, shut down the weekly Friday. His only regret - as he explains in a commentary that is also finding its way into the Congressional Record - is that he didn't find a way to keep the paper going after ten years.
