The Clarion-Ledger will cease its Saturday edition. The state newspaper reported:
Responding to continued rapid shifts toward digital news consumption, the Clarion Ledger is announcing a change in print delivery frequency beginning March 26.
The Clarion Ledger will cease home delivery on Saturdays but will provide subscribers with a full digital replica of the newspaper that day, filled with local news, advertising and features such as comics and puzzles. The new model means subscribers will get newspapers delivered to their home six days a week, with a digital newspaper available every day.
The move affects most news organizations across the country in the USA TODAY Network that currently deliver newspapers seven days a week.
“Subscriber and advertising trends have dictated a change in how we share our news, but they should not be any indication that our commitment to bringing you that news has changed,” said Marlon A. Walker, Clarion Ledger executive editor. “I started my career as a journalist writing stories that were posted to the web. We now share our news on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok, through a mobile app in addition to that digital site, and more.”
The Saturday digital replica, the e-Edition, will continue to have the same look and news as the printed newspaper. The digital format also has additional features, such as the ability to clip and share articles with friends and family and adjust the text size.
