In a follow-up interview on yesterday's story about the News-Sentinel dropping its second edition, executive editor Linda Austin confirmed that the first edition copy deadline will remain at 8:30 a.m. "We have and will continue to push that deadline for breaking news," she noted.
She also elaborated on why the News-Sentinel made the change. "With the advent of so many other media that provide instant news, the value of recreating the print product over and over again and then delivering it hours after the fact is diminished."
NOTE: Yesterday Austin told me the News-Sentinel is not considering discontinuing its Saturday edition at this time.
