Centre Daily Times print edition to be delivered by U.S. Mail starting June 12

Recently I spoke to a community group and was asked a question that I’ve heard a lot: “What will the newspaper look like five years from now?”
Without a crystal ball, I said there’s no way I can know for sure, but that it will certainly not be the same Centre Daily Times as it is today. Over the past few years, changes have happened quickly and frequently in response to shifting reader habits and industry trends.
The latest of those changes will take effect June 12, when the daily print edition is delivered via the U.S. Mail instead of by a local carrier, which will allow us to continue to provide dependable service.
For most of our customers, the weekday papers will continue to arrive on the same day that you receive them now.
The Sunday edition will come with the Saturday mail. Hopefully, our print subscribers are already used to getting that Sunday edition a day early. That change took effect in early February, and the paper still includes everything readers are used to in the Sunday edition – comics, puzzles, the Good Life and business sections.
Print readers will have also noticed a change in the look of the Sunday edition to put a spotlight on our most impactful journalism, whether that’s a deep dive into test scores in local school districts, a look at how business loss is affecting Snow Shoe or holding elected officials accountable for potential Sunshine Act violations.
And for readers who want even more stories and to see compelling videos, the printed edition includes QR codes you can scan with your cellphones or tablets to take you quickly and easily to more content online. Our dynamic eEdition includes late breaking news and sports, delivered to your inbox every morning along with the eEdition that’s a digital replica of the print newspaper.
Our newsroom will continue to be the most reliable breaking news source in the region, including the availability of news alerts to your email and phones with information you need to stay safe.
And our weekend print edition will remain a source you can rely on for enterprise and accountability stories.
Later today, home delivery subscribers will be sent a personal email (followed by a mailed letter) with specifics about their subscription.
The CDT has many loyal readers and subscribers, and our staff is grateful for your support through the many changes you’ve seen as your local newspaper continues a digital transformation.
Thank you for your continued support of local journalism.
