Wichita Eagle dropping Saturday print


The Wichita Eagle will no longer publish a Saturday paper staring in fall, the paper announced Aug. 14.
Start­ing on Nov. 16, the paper will no longer pro­duce a printed news­pa­per on Satur­days and will launch a week­end edi­tion that in­cludes ex­panded pa­pers on Fri­days and Sun­days, said a note to readers from Gen­eral Man­ager Dale Sei­w­ert.
Subscription prices will remain the same, according to kake.com.
“More and more of our cus­tomers are en­gag­ing with our lo­cal jour­nal­ism on­line. This is not only a trend in Wi­chita, it is a wide­spread trend in the me­dia in­dus­try, and in fact, all in­dus­tries,” the note read.
Sacramento-based McClatchy owns the paper. Other McClatchy papers have recently dropped Saturday print, including the Myrtle Beach Sun News (South Carolina), The Herald-Sun (Durham, North Carolina) and the Bellingham Herald (Washington state), the Kansas City Business Journal pointed out.
