Another Wisconsin newspaper moves to the Web

From the Chicago Tribune:

In a bid to offset slumping ad sales and rising costs, The Daily Telegram in Superior, Wis., said Thursday it will publish the majority of its 118-year-old paper on the Internet starting this fall.

The afternoon paper, which has a circulation of about 6,000, will print only two issues a week, down from its current six. It wasn’t clear yet which days the paper will print, said Ron Brochu, executive editor.

The Superior/Duluth area provides a similar example to Madison – an area with two dailies basically in the same town.  I wish the paper luck, and plan to watch closely as changes take place at The Daily Telegram.
