No breaking news in your Sunday print newspaper? Here's why - Poynter
Briefly

The No Kings protests on June 14 showcased a significant flaw in many Sunday print editions: the lack of breaking news. Readers looking for local coverage were often disappointed. While digital news is more immediate and accommodating, print remains a crucial revenue source for local newspapers, even as audiences decline. Recent shifts to remote printing and U.S. Postal Service delivery have resulted in earlier deadlines, further depriving Sunday papers of timely updates. Despite these challenges, print editions still play a vital role in the financial health of regional newspapers during their slow digital transitions.
The No Kings protests on June 14 highlighted critical gaps in Sunday print editions, particularly the absence of timely breaking news that audiences seek.
