The Daily Californianreports that the Berkeley Daily Planet is temporary suspending its print edition. The move is because of costs and not because the paper simply wants to move completely online.
"The only way to cut expenses further is to give up print publication for the moment," the editorial reads. "We know that many if not most of our 40,000-plus faithful readers prefer paper, and frankly, we do too. But our central mission continues to be reporting the news, and new technology has made online news delivery very attractive."
The paper, which used to be printed six times a week, moved to weekly print publication in April 2008 amidst declining advertising revenue and a struggling journalism industry, said Becky O'Malley, the paper's executive director.
