The publishers of The Anniston Star on Monday announced a series of changes to cut expenses while concentrating on digital growth, including the discontinuation of the Monday print edition of The Star and the Friday Escapes section.

The changes come as part cost-saving measure in the face of declining readership and advertising, part refocusing of resources toward the company’s growing digital presence, according to Robert Jackson, Consolidated Publishing Company’s vice president for sales.
