SYRACUSE -- Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner has weighed in on the major change planned for the business model at The Syracuse Post Standard newspaper.  The mayor says she believes the plan to reduce regular production and delivery to three days a week will put some city residents at a disadvantage.

In a statement to CNYcentral, the mayor said: "Now is a challenging time for every sector of society and this is an  unfortunate reality of the news industry working in a changing world.  The shut down of daily newspaper production in this community
disadvantages many city residents who do not have access to the internet."

Beginning in January, The Post-Standard will only be published in print for home delivery and newsstands three days a week: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Click here to read and watch our previous coverage.
