Dallas paper decides to serve fewer people

Another example of the shrinking market for US newspapers: the Dallas Morning News is planning to cut its circulation area next year. In April it stopped distributing to most areas beyond a 200-mile radius, and that's likely to be reduced to 100 miles, according to its parent company, Belo Corp. Its chairman, president and ceo, Robert Decherd, says he hopes to achieve $8m (£4.08m) cost savings. The News has suffered from a decline in ad revenue and it has been involved in a scandal about inflating its circulation figures. The latest official audit shows a 7% year-on-year decline to about 460,000 copies. (Via Dallas Morning News)
