Big papers look at cuts, expanding Web
From the Christian Science Monitor: Following a trend at regional newspapers from Louisville, Ky., to Dallas, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which once proclaimed it “Covers Dixie like the Dew,” is the latest newspaper to retrench. The paper decided last week to cut its circulation area in half, abandoning some 70 counties in Georgia and surrounding states to focus on Atlanta’s metro area. Though it didn’t have any rural bureaus to close, media analysts say circulation often dictates news coverage.
