Changes on Mondays
Beginning this week, The News-Gazette will no longer publish a Monday edition.
“Eliminating Mondays helps us reduce costs and get the paper back on solid footing,” Barrett said. “We appreciate the incredible support of our readers as we move forward.”
Content will instead be funneled to The News-Gazette’s award-winning website, news-gazette.com.
“While we won’t have a Monday print edition, we will have all of Sunday’s news online, just as we do today,” said Jim Rossow, vice president of news.
