Windy City Times will cease print publication and go completely digital as a result of decreased revenue amid the pandemic, according to a statement on its website.The transition will be swift and the September 30 issue of the paper, which is set as a commemorative edition that celebrates the publication’s 35th anniversary, will be its last before moving entirely online.The paper’s co-founder and majority owner Tracy Baim called the move to end the newspaper's print production “painful.”“Our staff, freelancers and drivers have given so much to Windy City Times over the years.
I thank the team for really working hard to sustain WCT,” Baim said. “Hundreds of people worked at and supported this company through so many difficult times.
