Newark Star-Ledger in plans to stop printing on Saturdays in 2024

The following excerpt was sent out from newjerseyglobe.com:

Rising costs and reduced demand for old-fashioned newspapers have led the already struggling Star-Ledger to announce that they will stop printing newspapers on Saturdays in 2024 and instead rely entirely on their digital edition.
Two other NJ Advance Media newspapers, the Times of Trenton and the South Jersey Times, will also drop their Saturday print newspapers. The Jersey Journal is already a six-day paper and does not print on Sundays.
“The decision to eliminate the Star-Ledger’s Saturday print edition was made after careful consideration,” said Wes Turner, an Advance Local executive. “With the continually decreasing revenue and circulation volumes of the Saturday print edition compared to the resources and costs to produce, this change allows us to align our manufacturing resources on the remaining print editions.”
But a notice that appeared in today’s online edition said the new print schedule won’t result in any layoffs. The Star-Ledger reporting staff is already less than a third of where it was two decades ago, and print circulation is down more than 80% over the last few years, according to reports the newspaper files.
