Good morning,
For those of you Bobcats who aren’t wearing a lanyard around your neck while searching for your classes, you might be wondering: What happened to The Post?
It’s a valid question: We’re not a daily printed publication anymore. You won't find a new copy of The Post on newsstands every day. But we’ve got content for you all over our website, and it’s still coming at you daily.
However, today’s the day a notable change kicks in at The Post.
In lieu of a daily print paper, we’ve created a weekly tabloid-style paper that will be on newsstands every Thursday and will feature the best Post stories for you to flip through while you sit on your porch and enjoy a glass of iced tea.
Those stories will also be online, but with the tabloid you’ll get to see it packaged up all pretty for your viewing pleasures.
So go find a copy of The Post and enjoy.
