Two more Newhouse papers to cease daily distribution




Newhouse Newspapers announced that it would end daily distribution of the Syracuse, N.Y.,

Post-Standard

and the Harrisburg, Pa.,

Patriot-News.

Both papers will merge their content with local news websites and deliver printed newspapers only three days a week, the

New York Times’


Media Decoder blog reported.

Earlier this year, Newhouse announced that it would stop printing a daily edition of the

New Orleans Times-Picayune

and at its Alabama newspapers.


Patriot-News

reporter Sara Ganim won a Pulitzer Prize this year for her coverage of the Jerry Sandusky child-abuse scandal at Pennsylvania State University.

The

Post-Standard

will publish on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays starting in January. The Syracuse Media Group, which will oversee the newspaper, is considering whether to publish a newspaper, but not deliver it, on the other four days.

New York Times

report. (Source: Media Decoder,
