Detroit papers go free three days a week

The Detroit Free Press (owner: Gannett) and the Detroit News (MediaNews) yesterday began a new publishing experiment. Some 500,000 copies of the dailies were available for free at newsstands, but there were no home deliveries.

In future, both papers will be delivered to subscribers on only three days a week - Thursday, Friday and Sunday. The strategy is aimed at slashing production and delivery costs while retaining enough print ad revenue to sustain editorial budgets.

The irony is that the switch has occurred just as one of the biggest stories in the city's history has broken with the White House forcing out the chairman of General Motors.
