Amid large revenue losses associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, it published its last issue in May 2020 and merged with sister CNHI newspaper Weatherford Democrat, located about 20 miles away. The Index newsroom had shrunk by 50% over the last 16 years as part of a decadeslong trend of newspaper decline nationwide.[3]
