I heard a brief mention of this on the radio yesterday and a web search indicates that it is true.

From the article:
ROCHESTER, JUNE 16: Ending a century-old tradition, Eastman Kodak Co will soon stop making black-and-white photographic paper, a niche product for fine-art photographers and hobbyists that is rapidly being supplanted by digital-imaging systems.
Kodak said on Wednesday it will discontinue production of the paper, specially designed for black-and-white film, at the end of this year. But the world’s biggest film manufacturer will continue to make black-and-white film and chemicals for processing.
The article goes on to mention that one of the remaining companies to make it just emerged from bankruptcy as did the German film maker Agfa.
Who would have ever thought?
