An online publication calls on its readers for some much needed help.

Brooklyn staple Bklyner.com is on the verge of shutting its doors.

The struggling local news outlet says due to low advertising sales cannot continue to operate.

They are asking their readers to purchase a subscription to help keep the company running.

Last year the organization laid off six reporters because it could not afford to pay them.

"I love what we've done so far and I would love to continue. It's just that it needs to be good and it needs to be powerful and in order to be it needs support of people," said Liena Zagare, Publisher, Bklyner.com.

If the website fails to get three thousand subscribers it will close down at the end of the month.
