OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Omaha World-Herald has announced that it will eliminate its daily afternoon newspaper edition on March 7.
The newspaper said in a news release Monday that home delivery will be in the morning for all subscribers, seven days a week. About a third of the newspaper's subscribers have been taking the afternoon edition.
Publisher Terry Kroeger says that with more readers turning to the morning print edition and to the newspaper's website, www.Omaha.com , "We can produce better results for our readers and advertisers by focusing efforts there."
Kroeger said on Omaha.com while announcing the change that a dozen circulation jobs will be lost.
World-Herald spokesman Rick Thornton says the latest paid weekday circulation is 104,000 and the latest Sunday paid circulation is 132,000.
