Four Major Daily Newspapers To Publish Only Three Days Per Week
May 25, 2012
Four major daily newspapers announced Thursday that they will only print three issues per week beginning later this year.
The Times-Picayune, a 175-year old New Orleans paper; the Mobile Press-Register, The Birmingham News and The Huntsville Times will only publish a printed paper on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays beginning in the fall. Instead, the papers will focus more efforts on their online offerings.
The Pensacola News Journal, which was at last report printed the Mobile-Press Register facility in Mobile, has no plans to reduce is publishing schedule, according to a post Thursday on the newspaper’s website by Executive Editor Richard Schneider.
Gannett, the owner of the Pensacola News Journal and 81 other daily newspapers, has announced that it will begin charging readers to access news online by the end of the year.
NorthEscambia.com has no plans to charge readers for content.

If the PNJ starts charging I am sure the snarky posters will disappear and no longer post ridiculous comments on news stories. This is a good thing. But certainly northescambia.com is a better news source.
THANKS WILLIAM for continuing to serve us here in the north end . We have a real blessing in your service. More and more people are using this service and love it. Keep up the good work.
The News Journal is a complete waste of our time and I can’t see many people paying for the on-line service. Sorry but goodbye NJ
Bye Bye News Journal! No loss.
Thank you, William, for this site and for your time and energy. I don’t know of any one who will be willing to pay for the PNJ. Guess Pensacola will need a new source of information. All I can say is bye, bye PNJ.
By the way, I foresee lots more advertisers coming to NorthEscambia.com as they flee from those other mullet wrappers.
Well so long PNJ….no way will anyone pay to read that pile of nothing online.
William you are changing the way they do journalism around here.
