The media company Lee Enterprises said a \u201ccybersecurity event\u201d had created havoc at dozens of its newspapers, prompting some to publish shorter editions or not print at all.<\/p>\n

Newspapers across the country owned by the news media company Lee Enterprises were unable to print, had problems with their websites and published smaller issues after a cyberattack last week, the company said.<\/p>\n

In a statement emailed on Sunday, Lee Enterprises said that the company was facing disruptions to its daily operations because of a \u201ccybersecurity event,\u201d and that it had notified law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Lee Enterprises is the parent company of more than 70 daily newspapers, such as The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and nearly 350 weekly and specialty publications in 25 states, including Alabama, New York and Oregon. The company did not say how the attack happened or who was behind it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now focused on determining what information \u2014 if any \u2014 may have been affected by the situation,\u201d the company said. \u201cWe are working to complete this investigation as quickly and thoroughly as possible, but these types of investigations are complex and time-consuming, with many taking several weeks or longer to complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Newspapers published by Lee Enterprises reported on the cyberattack and said that most of the problems began on Monday morning. Each newspaper included details about how the attack had stifled their operations. It was not clear if the issues had been resolved on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Daily Progress<\/a> in Charlottesville, Va., and The La Crosse Tribune<\/a> in La Crosse, Wis., both said on Friday that they had not been able to print newspapers since Monday.<\/p>\n
