Published since 1882, Bien is the only Danish weekly newspaper published in the United States.

L'Italo-Americano, first published in 1908, is the oldest Italian American newspaper in the United States.

Both Burbank Leader (founded 1905) and La Canada Valley Sun (founded 1946) newspapers were scheduled to cease publication in 2020, by their owner, the Los Angeles Times. Outlook Newspapers of La Cañada Flintridge, however, stepped in to purchase the papers and continue their publication.

Alternative newspaper Los Angeles Reader closed in 1996. Six years later, in October 2002, another alternative newspaper, New Times L.A., which was founded in the same year that Los Angeles Reader had closed, also abruptly closed. The owners of New Times and the owners of the competing L.A. Weekly worked out a marketing deal in which New Times L.A. was shut down in favor of the L.A. Weekly, in exchange for a cash payment in the neighborhood of $1 million. Most of the 70 New Times L.A. staff members arrived at work on the day of the announced closing, with no idea that their paper was to be discontinued. New Times L.A., the final publication issued on October 2, had a weekly circulation of about 120,000.
