The Cleveland Daily Banner will start producing a combined
Sunday/Monday print edition of the paper, the Banner reports. The new edition will start March 3.
The
community paper will then be in print five days weekly: Sunday/Monday, and
Tuesday through Friday.
The move
“was driven primarily by sharp increases in newsprint costs over the past two
years,” Ralph Baldwin, Banner publisher, told the paper. “Our costs for
newsprint rose 26 percent over the last 18 months, with seven increases.
“We felt
this was the right decision in lieu of having a significant rate increase for
our subscribers,” he said.
Weekday
single-copy sales will rise to 75 cents daily and $1.50 on Sundays, starting
March 1.
“Readers
will receive all of the features they’re accustomed to in the combined
Sunday/Monday paper. Subscribers will have full access to our website, which
will be updated with news and obituaries by 10 a.m. on Mondays,” Baldwin said.
“We’ll
continue to add new products for our readers and advertisers,” Baldwin said. Last year, the paper introduced a quarterly
local lifestyles magazine, Bradley Essential, he said. In 2019, the paper is
planning to have its first community event for seniors. It’s also planning
improvements to its digital offerings, he said.
