Southern Indiana Newspapers Merge

Southern Indiana newspapers to merge by March 1

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) - Two southern Indiana newspapers are becoming one.

Publishers of the Evening News of Jeffersonville and the New Albany Tribune announced Wednesday that both organizations will be consolidated into one paper called the Evening News and Tribune starting March 1.

It will publish Tuesday through Sunday.

Evening News publisher Bill Hanson says the consolidation aims to create a more powerful media and advertising force in the region.

The merger is the latest move in an ongoing strategy of joining the newspapers' resources to provide more regional coverage for Clark and Floyd counties and southern Indiana in general. The newspapers have shared the same website for several years.

Both newspapers are owned by Community Newspapers Inc. and have operated since 1851.
