Daily Tar Heel Cuts Print to One Day a Week

Posted Jan 23, 2021
The Daily Tar Heel sustained three printed newspapers a week during the first semester of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it can no longer. The 128-year paper has moved to one printed edition per week. The DTH, which has turned to private donors for financial help four and a half years ago, says the pandemic has exacerbated its print advertising decline. (Carolina Alumni Review)
