West Central Tribune drops Monday print edition


The West Central Tribune (Willmar, Minnesota) is dropping its Monday print edition, starting Sept. 17, the paper announced. The change was driven by two key factors, according to the paper: increases in newsprint prices and drops in advertising revenue.
Rapid increases in newsprint prices, driven by recent tariffs, have “caused a 30 percent increase in material costs, with no clear end in rising newsprint prices,” the paper says.
The paper doesn’t plan to reduce rates because of the change. Its rates have not changed since 2013, according to the paper.
Forum Communications Company owns the paper.
