Cleveland’s Plain Dealer to Cut Delivery


Ohio's largest newspaper will seek to compete in the digital age as a daily, published seven days a week, but subscribers no longer will enjoy seven-day home delivery.

In a break from longstanding tradition, The Plain Dealer will be delivered to homes only three days a week beginning later this summer.

The long-awaited changes, announced to employees Thursday, will coincide with the emergence of a new company, the Northeast Ohio Media Group, which will partner with The Plain Dealer Publishing Co. to produce news and information in both print and electronic formats.

The launch of the new company and the new delivery schedule will occur later this summer. The company has said that The Plain Dealer will be home-delivered on Sunday and on two days yet to be named.

The Plain Dealer is owned by New York-based Advance Publications, which owns two other separate news organizations in the region: cleveland.com and The Sun News.
