Youngstown was set to become the first major U.S. city without a newspaper after The Vindicator ceased publication on Saturday.

The Vindicator was a staple in the Valley, serving the community for 150 years.

But a new chapter is written as The Tribune Chronicle in Warren published its first edition for Mahoning County on Sunday, stepping in and hoping to fill the void for newspaper readers.

21 News was at the Tribune Chronicle's offices in Warren, and we were able to get our hands on one of the first copies of the new Vindicator edition hot off the presses.

You could say that the Tribune Chronicle in Warren is writing a new chapter in Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley's history.

Publishing The Vindicator: Tribune Chronicle's Mahoning County Edition for the first time just after 10 p.m. Saturday.

The headline? Good Morning, Mahoning County!  

A front-page story welcomes readers accustomed to waking up Sunday morning, or any morning for that matter, with a fresh newspaper in their hand, and a fresh cup of coffee.

It re-introduces newspaper readers to trusted Vindicator reporters, who are now part of the Tribune's staff, to bring you everything Mahoning County.

Those reporters include David Skolnick, a long-time political writer, and government reporter, Ed Runyan, crime and local government reporter, Tom Wills, a regional editor, and Sean Barron, a feature story and community news writer, as well as several page designers and sportswriters.

This is a historic day for the Mahoning Valley because this is the first time The Vindicator, Tribune Chronicle edition has been printed, and the first time that two subscription lists from two different newspapers have come together to form one newspaper.

The publisher of the Tribune Chronicle, Charles Jarvis, is publishing three different newspapers for the first time. The Mahoning County edition of the Tribune Chronicle, then an Ashtabula County newspaper, and finally the Tribune Chronicle for Warren and Trumbull County.

This first edition is 32 pages with local, state and a few national stories, sports, tributes, and obituaries, as well as classified ads and horoscopes.  Also included six pages of comics and the TV book or guide.

Jarvis says everything ran smoothly for the first time, and they started printing about an hour earlier than usual just in case there were any issues.

He's asking that customers be patient as they make this transition.

The Tribune Chronicle previously published on average 20,000 to 25,000 papers. Now, with the Vindicator's subscription list, that will double to 50,000.

Inking out a new day for newspaper in the Valley.
