Toledo Blade Kills Print Edition for almost all Holidays; Newspaper Guild Protests the Move

Toledo Blade staffers received this notice on Monday:

No printed edition on most holidays

In an effort to encourage more traffic to our online products – toledoblade.com and the eBlade – we are making an adjustment in our print-publication schedule.

There will be no printed version of The Blade on the following holidays: Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. We will have a print edition on Thanksgiving. If any holiday falls on a Sunday, there will be a printed newspaper. The change will begin on Dec. 25 of this year.
