The Isle of Man Examiner is changing its publication date from next week.
Instead of being in the shops from Mondays, it will be in the shops on Tuesdays.
The change is being made to improve the paper, editor Richard Butt said.
‘We have been working to a Sunday deadline, which has meant that it has been harder to contact key sources of news,’ he said.
‘Changing our deadline to a weekday (Monday) will mean that our reporters will be able to get hold of people more easily at deadline time and write more comprehensive stories, so our readers will have a better paper.’
Like all local papers, the Examiner relies on enthusiasts for information for sports news. An extra day will also give them more time to help provide good coverage of the weekend’s action.
