    Five small-town weekly newspapers in the Triangle – the Apex Herald, the Holly Springs Sun, Garner News, the Cleveland Post and the Fuquay-Varina Independent – will close their doors effective Aug. 1.

    I don't know anything about Civitas Media, but best of luck to those affected.

    Civitas Media is formerly Heartland Publications, better known as Heartless Publications. They've been gutting papers for quite some time. It's kind of their thing.
