Digital technology has substantially grown the audience for local news and advertising in the Moultrie Observer in recent years. It has opened the online door wide to new and traditional news consumers of all ages, backgrounds and interests.

But one element remains constant. The high cost of printing and distributing the newspaper especially on low volume days for news and ads continues to grow.

With that in mind, The Observer is changing its print publication schedule from five days to three days per week, effective October 2. The newspaper will no longer publish on Tuesdays and Thursdays as of that date.

The Observer website, www.moultrieobserver.com, will continue to carry the latest news, sports, business reports, features and advertising every day of the week. All subscribers have total access as a part of your subscription that allows you full access to our web site, without limitations. In addition, follow us on social media for the latest news as it happens.

The world of news is changing in the digital era. We are changing with it to expand our digital capabilities while, at the same time, serving our readers with a newspaper frequency schedule that ensures our economic stability and also continues to provide local information you want, need and value.

We appreciate your continued support. If you have questions or concerns please contact General Manager Laurie Gay at 229-985-4545, email laurie.gay@gaflnews.com or drop by the office during normal business hours.

Sincerely,

Laurie Gay, General Manager
