The Cheyenne Tribune Eagle, one of the state's largest newspapers, is no longer publishing a Monday edition.
The paper isn't as big as the diminishing Tribune, but at one time its predecessor was one of the largest papers in the state. Now, it can't muster up a Monday issue. Granted, Monday issues in newspapers have long been the smallest of the week but. . . one more straw.
That might boost the fortunes of the Casper Star Tribune a bit, as it still has a Monday issue and chances are its Monday issue hits the stands before a single paper is delivered in Casper, given that it's printed in Cheyenne now.
But on a slightly wider front, it's notable that the CST is a Lee Enterprises paper and that same entity owns The Missoula Independent. It just closed it.
Missoula is a city with a population of about 73,000, making it roughly the same size as Casper. The Independent was one of two papers in the town, so its closure isn't that surprising. Of course, Lee owns two papers in Casper. . . .
