Johnston Press is closing the Scarborough Trader, a free weekly that has been published continuously for 30 years.
Its final issue will be distributed on 8 September, and its closure is the result of what a spokesperson called the "tough trading environment".
The publisher will concentrate instead on producing its paid-for title, the Scarborough Evening News, which - with a sale of just over 11,000 copies a day - is one of Britain lowest circulation dailies.
Free papers are particularly vulnerable in the current climate. Northcliffe closed the Nottingham Recorder, one of the biggest frees in the country, in June.
Trinity Mirror is suspending publication of six weeklies in Scotland and is transforming another free in north Wales into a paid-for.
