Three newspapers in Mississippi are eliminating their Monday print editions.

The Greenwood Commonwealth in Greenwood, the Delta Democrat-Times in Greenville and the Enterprise-Journal in McComb are all owned by Emmerich Newspapers.

The company's president, Wyatt Emmerich, says advertising has declined, particularly for Monday editions.

With the new schedule, all three newspapers will publish print editions Tuesday through Friday and on Sunday.

All three papers say they will continue to regularly publish news on their websites.

 

This position is still available. Anyone with interest please send cover letter, resume and clips to jalverson@ddtonline.com.

 

Does the Carter family still own the paper?

 

No, haven't for years. Drip mentioned the tool who owns it in his post above.
