Pekin Daily Times to end print edition as reader habits change, costs rise
The Pekin Daily Times will cease its print edition and move to an entirely digital model beginning in January, in response to shifting reader habits and rising print costs. Like many newspapers across the country, the Daily Times has faced increased printing and delivery costs while a growing number of readers turn to digital platforms for news. The move is aimed at ensuring our long-term sustainability. The final print edition will be published Jan. 11. Subscribers will receive 24/7 access to the Pekin Daily Times and our eNewspaper, a digital replica of the newspaper on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. The cost of subscriptions will be adjusted to reflect digital rates. Subscribers also will have access to the USA TODAY Network’s full suite of eNewspapers from across the country, as well as ad-free access to the USA TODAY crossword puzzle. For questions about the changes, subscribers can call customer service at 1-888-225-3993.
