Christian Science Monitor To End Print Newspaper
After 100 years of publication, The Christian Science Monitor will stop the presses next year. For good.Editor John Yemma said Tuesday that his Pulitzer-Prize-winning Boston-based newspaper will stop publishing a daily print edition in favor of its Web site and a to-be-launched weekly news magazine in April, saving $1.5 million to $2 million a year. The paper has been considering the move for two years and made its final decision in the last few weeks. While other print publications have folded in favor of online in recent years, the Monitor's change is perhaps the most poignant acknowledgment thus far of the radical transformation in the newspaper business. While hardly a major force in journalism anymore, the Monitor is the most well-known and prestigious newspaper in America to completely bail out of the business of printed media.
