Changing times

The Thanksgiving edition is traditionally a daily newspaper’s largest of the year, and this year the Reno Gazette Journal’s edition—which actually came out the day before Thanksgiving—was 2.71 pounds. While encouraging for the newspaper, that number also reflects the changes in our industry—the last time we weighed the RGJ Thanksgiving edition in 2014, it came in at 4.44 pounds. The rack was shot at a Sparks convenience store.
