The round-the-clock online news cycle has made digital products the first choice for breaking news, and print subscribers are increasingly engaging digitally. As such, The Salisbury Daily Times will be putting renewed emphasis on the printed newspaper as a place readers can dive into local news with more impact and context, feel-good community features, sports analysis and commentary — the stories you can’t get anywhere else.
“We at The Daily Times and DelmarvaNow.com remain committed to delivering news, sports and entertainment reporting of interest to the community,” said Local Editor Keith Demko. “This transition to mail delivery of the print newspaper is a workable solution as we continue to make the digital product our customers’ first choice.”
Like many other newspaper publishers, Gannett Co. Inc., which operates more than 200 daily local newspapers including The Salisbury Daily Times, has already successfully introduced the approach in dozens of markets across the country and is expanding the initiative.
“For many years now, the printed newspaper has served as a culmination of the stories that will become our collective history, while our websites and mobile apps deliver the news of the day,” said Michael A. Anastasi, VP of Local News for Gannett. “We know that by the time our informed readers pick up the paper, they know what happened yesterday – the print newspaper should provide additional context, to help readers better understand their community and the world around them.”
Readers can also visit DelmarvaNow.com as well as to access the eNewspaper, a digital replica of the newspaper at DelmarvaNow.com/enewspaper.”
Subscribers will receive letters in the mail before the delivery change is implemented. The notifications will also include instructions on accessing digital products.
