The Times-Picayune is an American newspaper published in New Orleans,Louisiana,since January 25,1837. The current publication is the result of the 1914 merger of The Picayune with the Times-Democrat; and was printed on a daily basis until October 2012,when it went to a Wednesday/Friday/Sunday schedule. However,under competitive pressure from the New Orleans edition of The Advocate (based in Baton Rouge),which was established to take advantage of the cuts,the Times-Picayune resumed daily publication in 2014. The paper and the NOLA.com website formed the NOLA Media Group division of Advance Publications,under its subsidiary Advance Local. In May 2019,the paper announced its sale to the owners of The Advocate,resulting in the layoffs of its entire staff.
