Readers,
Saturday, May 27, will mark the last Saturday edition of the Pine Bluff Commercial.
As publisher Ed Graves explained, “every once in a while, you have to take a step back and look at your business model and make tough decisions. You have to look at what your business is doing well and what you can do better, and once you figure that out, you have to jump into it full force. Print media, like most businesses, are facing mountable challenges. As we seek to remain relevant, viable and profitable during the economy of change, the Pine Bluff Commercial is no different.
“You will still be able to get the latest news and information for our area at pbcommercial.com and on our social media sites. We are also preparing to launch our redesigned print edition with a new, crisp, clean look in how we present the news, which we are sure you will enjoy. Our subscription rate will remain the same and will now include any premium editions that we produce throughout the year, which means no additional charges for our subscribers.
“Change is difficult, but our goal still remains the same. We want to be able to give you the best product we can. The Pine Bluff Commercial has been around since 1881, and we will continue that tradition to the best of our ability in print and online. The team at the Pine Bluff Commercial appreciates your loyalty throughout the years.”
