LA Register To Cease Publication

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The Los Angeles Register is shutting down just a few months after the paper was first published.

The LA Register launched in April.

Publisher Aaron Kushner broke the news Monday night in a memo to staff, but says shutting down the daily paper isn't a failure. He says failing "is not taking bold steps toward growth."

He also hinted at employee layoffs, but didn't say how many people would lose their jobs.

The paper is owned by Freedom Communications, which also publishes The OC Register, The Long Beach Register and The Riverside Press-Enterprise.

Officials said losangelesregister.com website will continue operate.
