US; Newspaper group moves to drop `paper’ from name
As Detroit's two daily newspapers became the most prominent to curtail
their print editions, an organization of newspaper editors moved Tuesday
to drop 'paper' from its name. The American Society of Newspaper Editors
scheduled an April vote in Chicago to become simply the American Society
of News Editors. Under the proposed changes, which require membership
approval, editors of news Web sites also would be permitted to join, as
would leaders of journalism programs. ASNE, founded in 1922, currently
describes itself as an organization for editors of the nation's 'daily
newspapers.' Its board unanimously recommended the changes. The Detroit
Free Press and The Detroit News announced Tuesday they will slash home
delivery to three days a week, print small editions for sale on
newsstands on other days and encourage people to get information online.
Papers in smaller towns have made similar moves. (AP)
