Banner Graphic to switch Monday publication to Tuesdays

Sunday, April 23, 2017

The Banner Graphic will change its weekly print schedule beginning on Tuesday, May 2 with a switch to printing on Tuesdays.

The weekly Tuesday edition will replace the current Monday edition of the paper, but readers will continue to receive the overall news and sports coverage they have grown accustomed to over the years.

No editions are being taken away from readers, as the newspaper will remain on a four-day print week. Publication days will simply shift to Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

While the two-day break between Saturday and Tuesday publications presents a challenge to sports and breaking news coverage, the commitment to online coverage remains unchanged.

When major community or sporting events occur on Saturdays or Sundays, the results will appear shortly after the completion of the events, with full stories to follow online and in the Tuesday print edition.

One example of this sort of coverage is coming up in just a couple of weeks with Dancing With the Putnam County Stars on Saturday, May 6. A brief story about the winners will be posted later that night, with a full story and more photos to follow.

Additionally, when news breaks on weekends, we count on our relationships with local emergency responders to get the information to the readers of Putnam County. We will continue to foster those relationships as the become even more vital.

The Tuesday addition will also give our reporters the chance to gather the whole story from emergency personnel when a new business week commences on Monday.

The news staff will also work with local funeral homes regarding the change of days. Even when a death occurs on the weekend, staff members will monitor incoming emails to ensure that obituaries appear online in a timely manner.

The change will also allow for coverage of Monday meetings to get to more readers through our total market coverage papers on Tuesdays.

Above all, the staff of the Banner Graphic remains committed to bring the best local news and sports coverage to the people of Putnam County — both in print and online.

  • What days paper will the manufacture coupons come in? They were in the free Monday paper.

    What day will the Kroger add come? It has been coming on Thursday, the same day a new sale week starts at Kroger.
