"Everybody knows that big-city newspapers are in an advertising funk, and we need to take extraordinary steps to fortify our newsroom resources," Wolman said. "The delivery changes are designed to preserve daily publication and expand on our digital presentations. Our goal is to provide a balance of spot news with in-depth and authoritative coverage of the events and issues that matter most to Michigan."
The News and its partner in the Detroit Media Partnership, The Detroit Free Press, switch to publishing newsstand-only editions four days a week. Home delivery of The News will be available on Thursday and Friday; the Free Press will also be available Sunday, when The News does not publish.
In place of home delivery on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, News subscribers can access a special "e-edition" of The News, a digital replica of the printed paper. The News also will continue to be available online at www.detnews.com, or as a mobile version for Smartphones at m.detnews.com.
More bad news. Both the Rocky Mountain News and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer were involved in similar partnerships with the other daily in their city.
