The Johnson Newspaper Corporation, Watertown, will no longer print the Sunday Advance-News as a standalone paper and will reduce printing of the Daily Courier-Observer from five days a week to just two days per week.
Documents sent to vendors state that the Advance-News will now be issued as a special section in the Watertown Daily Times. The section will contain St. Lawrence County news traditionally found in the Advance, according to the document.
The Advance-News has roots in the county dating back to 1935 and has been delivered to all subscribers of the Ogdensburg Journal and the Daily Courier-Observer, which serves the Massena and Potsdam areas.
A second letter issued by the company announces that the Daily Courier-Observer will now be published on a Wednesday and Friday schedule.
“There will no longer be a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday edition,” the letter says.
Prices for both the Watertown Daily Times and Daily Courier-Observer will remain the same.
The Daily Courier-Observer has roots dating back as far as 1852 as the Potsdam Courier and Journal. It became a daily in the late 1980s when the bi-weekly Massena Observer and the weekly Courier-Freeman were merged.
