Texas paper drops daily print edition

MARBLE FALLS, Texas — Beginning March 15, the River Cities Daily Tribune will publish its Tuesday-Friday editions online only.

Editor Thomas Edwards says, "It will be the same great, thorough news coverage our readers have come to expect, only delivered much faster than before and more often."

The weekend edition — the River Cities Sunday Tribune — will remain available both in print and online.

The Daily Tribune's parent company is Victory Publishing Co. Ltd.

Marble Falls is located about 50 miles northwest of Austin.

 

This is the newspaper I'm familiar with in Marble Falls:

The Daily Tribune site kicks you here:

According to that site, the product (however frequent) offers " 'feel-good' news for the Hill Country."

 

The best thing about Marble Falls is the Blue Bonnet Cafe. Best pies ever.

 

I notice there's a subscription ad on the side of the site. Limited-time offer, it says. No kidding.

 

Good call, though Betty's Pies in northern Minnesota gives it a run for its money.

 

My mom's pie crust is flakier than Jim Bunning. Really!

 

I object!

 

Looks like we got trouble in River City.

 

Trouble with a capital T which rhymes with P which stands for pies.

 

Jim Bunning pitched both sides of the aisle during his MLB days---roughly equal time in NL and AL.

Looks like he hasn't changed.

 

No wonder why I see people hanging around window sills in Marble Falls all the time.

 

Tiny paper, but save this thread. This will be the rule in a year, I'd say. Everybody will be going online only except for the Sunday edition.
