Published: March 11, 2009
The Independent Tribune will become a tri-weekly, hyper-local newspaper April 22, Publisher Terry Coomes said Wednesday.
The paper will be published Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
"This new hyper-local model will allow the Independent Tribune to deliver news that readers, and non readers, have told us is most important to them," Coomes said, "and that they cannot find anywhere else."
Breaking news will continue to be reported around the clock on the newspaper's Web site, www.independenttribune.com, Coomes said.
"As we learned in our recently completed research study, our readers look to us to provide indepth coverage of the Cabarrus and southern Rowan communities, and we believe we must deepen our commitment to delivering this hyper-local content," she said.
"The combination of the newspaper and its 24/7 Web site allows us to deliver community news and breaking news seamlessly," she said.
The Web site has grown in popularity since a September redesign, setting records for unique visitors in January and total audience in February.
Coomes said the newspaper will host open houses to discuss the changes with readers. She said she welcomes calls and e-mails from readers. Her direct line is 704-789-9110. Her e-mail is tcoomes@independenttribune.com.
"We are excited about this recommitment to our readers and advertisers," Coomes said.
