Are we seeing the future of print media?
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. News and World Report plans to cut its publishing frequency by half for the second time this year, making it the latest news publication to embrace an online-heavy approach, according to a published report Tuesday.
The Washington Post, citing unnamed staffers briefed on the decision, said the magazine’s print edition will focus on popular consumer guides such as its annual ranking of colleges, while its Web site will offer expanded features.
U.S. News spokeswoman Liz Putze declined comment to The Associated Press….
The Post did not say when U.S. News will go monthly but said few additional layoffs are expected.
Last week, The Christian Science Monitor said it will become the first national newspaper to drop its daily print edition. It will print only a weekend edition and focus on publishing online.
Several local daily newspapers across the country have stopped publishing some editions.
What was that phrase again?
Oh yeah…
