Kentucky Standard drops Friday edition


The Kentucky Standard (Bardstown) will cease publishing its Friday edition beginning in November, the paper announced.
The paper will go to twice weekly after the production of its last Friday edition on Nov. 1. Going forward, the paper will print on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
“This is a business decision driven by one factor — advertising,” said Scott Moore, publisher of The Standard. Moore said the Friday edition has been the weakest in terms of advertising for some years.
“The Standard is a solid newspaper financially, but we face the same challenges that the industry as a whole is dealing with,” Moore said.
Landmark Community Newspapers bought The Standard from Scripps in 1987.
