Westport News Closes Westport Office, Moves to Norwalk

The Westport News, owned by Denver-based MediaNews Group Inc., announced in today’s edition that it has closed its Westport office at Sconset Square (above) and moved to 542 Westport Ave., in Norwalk “just over the town line on U.S. Route 1.” The newspaper, part of the Brooks Community Newspapers unit, has had a Westport presence since it began publication more than 40 years ago. The Norwalk office is headquarters for the Brooks Community Newspapers. No reason was given for the move, but the newspaper industry has undergone severe economic turmoil in recent years.
