Printing costs, paper costs, mail costs, have gotten us under. With papers folding, it is becoming the era of one dominant newspaper. Community papers have been popping up. Everywhere you go, you are going to see them. People want to know what is going on in their communities that will affect their lives.
Several dailies see that community papers don t compete with big papers but act as a supplement.
Once a week, big papers put out community supplements in addition to providing daily news on national issues. The religion section is growing. You will begin to see religion sections more like lifestyle sections. Newspapers have been hiring religion editors to cover all the major religions. In Phoenix, the Arizona Republic is launching a religion section.
