Beginning this week, the Daily Herald will publish its Classified Marketplace section Wednesday through Sunday only -- our highest days for readership. Classifieds will no longer be published in Monday and Tuesday print editions but will continue to be available online at heraldextra.com.

With the change, news content will be consolidated on Mondays and Tuesdays into two sections. All the Herald's local reporting will continue as usual, and all the regular features that readers have come to expect -- comics, puzzles, obituaries, TV listings, etc. -- will continue to be published every day.

These changes are designed to provide the best results for customers while reducing the cost of newsprint during the current economic downturn.
