MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The Daily Athenaeum’s print newspaper will be inserted in The Charleston Gazette-Mail beginning in August, among other changes to the publication in the upcoming academic year.
The DA will now hit newsstands on Thursdays rather than Wednesdays, according to WVU Student Media director Madison Cook.
Cook said these changes will increase The DA’s circulation in the state to more than 15,000. The DA formerly printed out of The Dominion Post in Morgantown. The publication was acquired by Ogden Newspapers in September, which moved printing to Wheeling, West Virginia.
“Back in September, [The Dominion Post was] acquired by Ogden, which meant that our printing moved to Wheeling,” Cook said.
Cook said she began seeking out other printing options following this transition, which led her to consulting with HD Media.
Doug Skaff, HD Media president and a former West Virginia legislator, died after a crash on Interstate 79.
Cook said Skaff played an instrumental role in The DA’s transition to HD Media, noting his excitement for the upcoming collaboration.
