HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The daily newspaper in Pennsylvania's capital city and a sister paper in Syracuse, N.Y., are switching to a three-days-a-week publication schedule in January.
John Kirkpatrick, publisher of The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, says the change will be accompanied by an expansion of around-the-clock news coverage online. The paper will continue to publish on Sundays, while the other two days have not been determined.
At the Post-Standard of Syracuse, editor and publisher Stephen Rogers told employees that newspapers' economic model has become unviable. The Post-Standard will publish on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Both newspapers are owned by Advance Publications Inc.
The Patriot-News won a Pulitzer Prize this year for its coverage of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Four other Advance newspapers said in June that they were switching to three-times-a-week publication.
