The Syracuse Journal-Democrat is excited to announce that the print edition is getting a brand-new look and feel starting on Friday, July 11, thanks to the latest advancements in digital printing. This transformation means sharper images, richer colors, and an even better reading experience – all while maintaining the quality community journalism you rely on every day.

Why These Changes?

Digital printing showcases crisper text and more vibrant photos for better readability, reduces waste and improves efficiency.

The new format allows us to save on printing costs by eliminating the need for printing plates and excess copies.

Newspaper costs have been rising due to tariffs on newspaper and aluminum (printing plates).

By switching to digital printing, the newspaper will avoid passing on increased costs to our subscribers.

How will it affect subscribers?

Your subscription remains the same. That means you will still get a new issue of the paper each week on the same day.

We encourage you to try the new edition and share your feedback with us. Email your thoughts on the change to kmanion@cherryroad.com or jdavis@cherryroad.com.
