LOGAN (AP) — The Herald Journal will switch from afternoon to morning publication in June, publisher Bruce Smith announced Friday.
The decision means the Deseret News would be the last afternoon newspaper in Utah, although that newspaper also has said it wants to switch to morning publication.
"Ultimately, it came down to the question, 'Can we be competitive long-term as an afternoon newspaper?' " Smith said. "I think we all concluded that in the long-term, becoming a morning publication was the best thing for the newspaper."
Smith said he thinks The Herald Journal will better attract newcomers to Logan who are accustomed to a morning format.
