25 edition of The Register had three stories, all of them regional news from the Cape Cod Times, which is owned by the same company - and which is why, when The Register stopped printing, some readers said the paper they loved was already gone.
In some cases, the change followed a period of declining local content. Over the last year, several other weeklies on Cape Cod and the South Coast have gone digital or closed entirely. The weekly founded in Yarmouth stopped printing on paper in December and went all-digital. After 185 years, the Mid-Cape newspaper The Register - as we knew it - is no more.
