Sierra Nevada Media changes publishing schedule

Sierra Nevada Media Group has made changes to its production schedule in Northern Nevada.
Starting July 16, The Nevada Appeal will move from six days to two days (Wednesday and Saturday), The Record-Courier will change from three days to two days (Thursday and Saturday), The Lahontan Valley News adjusts from two days to one day (Wednesday mail delivery), and The Tahoe Tribune shifts from three days to one day (Friday).
“This new schedule allows us to serve the communities we currently do by printing five days a week — covering the entire area with the same resources it takes to produce one daily,” the group said in a release.
“Our online properties, mobile apps, and social media are dynamic and are updated regularly. We still love paper, and offer it for those who are attached to that rhythm,” said Brooke Warner, Sierra Nevada Media Group general manager.
The group mentioned recent tariffs on newsprint and associated production costs along with the impact of the paper on landfills as factors in the decision.
