No breaking news in your Sunday print newspaper? Here’s why

The No Kings protests on June 14 crystallized that something has gone missing in a great many Sunday print editions lately — breaking news.

Of course, you could read all about it in a timely fashion on the digital site of your local newspaper outlet later that Saturday. But many of those looking for a crowd estimate and the flavor of hometown rallies as they relaxed with the Sunday paper would come up dry.

No big deal, you may say. Audiences have mostly moved on to digital news. Those who haven’t yet would be smart to do so soon. Digital is not only more up-to-the-minute, it’s better in other dimensions — the number of photos accommodated, for instance, and the quality of their reproduction.
