Media today announced The Evening Sun in Hanover, Pa., will shift to a
three-day print schedule in 2014 and will continue to provide 7-day coverage of
the region on its website -- www.EveningSun.com -- as well as on its mobile and
tablet applications. "The Evening Sun is a vital part of our community. Our
commitment to a digitally focused future -- including our recent investment in
new equipment for our staff and the upcoming redesign of our website -- is part
of our strategy to ensure we continue to reach our audience and our customers.
The number of people we reach continues to grow through our digital
products," said Sara Glines, President of MediaOnePa and Publisher of the
Hanover Evening Sun. While the shift in printing schedule will take effect
January 1, 2014, the days of the week that the Evening Sun will print have not
been finalized. "We are going to use the time we have to work with our
readers and our advertisers to determine the days that make the most sense to
meet the needs of our community. It is important that our community has a voice
in this process," said Ms. Glines. Evening Sun subscribers who have paid past January 1 will
have their subscriptions extended to an adjusted renewal date that takes into
account the new print schedule. Newspaper prices in stores and vending boxes
will remain unchanged. Newspapers published on the three-day print schedule will
include more pages per edition. Prior to the print schedule changes, The
Evening Sun will also launch a new look. The redesigned newspaper will provide
a full week's worth of our puzzles, comics and television listings.
