US: Three newspapers to merge in cost cutting drive
Posted by Katherine Thompson on September 25, 2008 at 12:49 PM
The Valley Irrigator, Belle Fourche Post and Belle Fourche Bee will merge to become the Butte County Post from 22 October.
The new weekly newspaper will be published every Wednesday. This new newspaper will be published countywide and is part of an effort to cut costs and make the most of its resources.
Brad Slater, publisher of the Rapid City Journal which owns and operates the Newell and Belle Fourche newspapers said, "As economic conditions continue to deteriorate resulting in reduced advertising spending and coupled with unprecedented increases in fuel and newsprint costs, it is critical that we reorganize the publishing processes of our weekly newspapers in the Northern Hills communities."
