ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) – The St. Joseph News-Press plans to end delivery of print editions on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Newspaper officials say the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic is prompting the change. The newspaper announced in February it planned to reduce print production sometime this year. But a sharp drop in advertising revenue caused by the pandemic is forcing the paper to make the changes earlier than planned. The newspaper will stop delivery of its Saturday print edition on April 18 and its Wednesday edition on May 6. It plans a larger Sunday edition beginning April 19.
