Employment opportunities Staff reports Courier & Press (Evansville) Responding to continued rapid shifts toward digital news con- sumption, the Evansville Courier & Press is announcing a change in print delivery frequency beginning March 5. The Courier & Press will cease home delivery on Saturdays but instead will provide subscribers with a full digital replica of the newspa- per that day, filled with local news, advertising and features such as comics and puzzles. The new model means subscribers will get newspa- pers delivered to their home six days a week, with a digital newspaper available every day. "Our commitment to local news remains steadfast, but the platforms on which people are consuming news continue to evolve. What was once solely a daily newspaper has transformed to include a digital site, mobile app, social media plat- forms, multimedia and more," said Executive Editor Cindi Andrews. "Our print newspapers remain a vital and important part of our strat- egy, but we are making a change this year in response to subscriber and advertising trends." The Saturday digital replica, or e-Edition, will have the same look and news as the printed newspaper. The digital format also has some additional features, such as the ability to clip and share articles with friends and family and adjust the text size. In addition, subscribers of the Courier & Press will now have access to the USA TODAY Network's full suite of e-Editions across the country, as well as ad- free access to the USA TODAY Crossword puzzle. The Courier & Press is part of the USA TODAY Network, and the change being announced today also is taking place at numerous other publications in the network. All print subscribers of the Courier & Press have full digital access, meaning they have the abil- ity to read news updates throughout the day, subscriber-only stories and video and audio features, among other benefits. Subscribers also have 24/7 access to obituaries, legal notic- es and classifieds on our website. News and sales staffing at the Courier & Press will not change as a result of this. However, those staffs will be even better aligned toward digital news delivery. Delivery times for the other days of the week will remain unchanged. "We will continue to strategi- cally evolve our business model, while making decisions that keep our loyal subscribers at the fore- front," Andrews said. "Our news- papers are a vital part of the fab- ric of our community. Now, more than ever, it's critical to support local news with subscriptions and advertising."
