It’s the end of an era in the UP as the Munising News will end its operation at the end of March. Owner Willie Peterson says they just haven’t been able to find employees. He has tried to sell it.

“We’ve had very interested parties. Even right now I have a couple of people who would like love to purchase it, but I wouldn’t sell it to them without employees. You know if if they can find the people to relocate to the area then it would be fine. Otherwise I would just be taking their money because after a short period of time they would have to close also.”

Peterson blames unemployment for the employee shortage, saying many businesses in the UP are having a tough time finding employees.
