The Plain Dealer announced this morning that it will reduce home delivery of its print edition to three days a week this summer as it transitions to an online focus.
The three-day home delivery subscriptions, including a Sunday edition, will include access to an e-edition seven days a week, according to an announcement on the newspaper’s website. Print versions of the Cleveland paper will be available for purchase “at thousands of outlets throughout Northeast Ohio.”
As part of the widely anticipated change, the Plain Dealer is launching a new digitally focused media company called Northeast Ohio Media Group this summer.
The new company, to be led by current Plain Dealer Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Andrea Hogben, “will be responsible for all ad sales and marketing for The Plain Dealer and oversee the operation of Cleveland.com and Sun News,” according to the online announcement.
