MADISON, Wis. â?? Madisonâ??s afternoon newspaper, The Capital Times, will move to an all-Internet edition in a transition that could be the first of its kind in the struggling industry.
The 17,000-circulation newspaper announced the changes, which include publishing twice-weekly free print editions, to staff and with a story on its Web site Thursday. There will be job cuts and a buy-out program, but details and how many staff will be affected were not immediately released.
Quoted: James Baughman, director of the journalism program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said given the paperâ??s distinctive voice it should have success attracting readers on the Internet.
