The end of an era for The Daily Herald's Sunday edition
EVERETT — A new hire and an old hand were on board when the first Sunday Herald rolled off the presses April 5, 1981.
-snip-
Today marks the end of an era for The Herald’s Sunday newspaper. After 41 years and some 2,100 issues, the Sunday edition will cease publishing.
Starting Jan. 3, The Herald will begin using the U.S. Postal Service for same-day delivery.
With the change, the Saturday paper will become an expanded weekend edition, featuring many of the sections that appeared in the thicker Sunday edition, including the Opinion section, Panorama and entertainment news.

A letter from the publisher
For more than a century, we have strived to serve our readers as the leading source for local news and information.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to producing the same timely, accurate and trustworthy journalism you’ve come to expect from The Herald. To do that important work requires that we make some changes in the way you receive the newspaper.
As of Jan. 3, we will begin using the U.S. Postal Service for delivery. That means Tuesday through Saturday you’ll receive that day’s newspaper with your regular mail.
Beginning Saturday, New Year’s Eve, readers will receive an expanded weekend edition, packed with many of the same favorites you now see on Sundays, including our Opinion section, comics, Panorama and plenty of entertainment news and other popular features. Beginning Jan. 2, Mondays will be a digital-only day where you can read the entire edition online at HeraldNet.com or on the Herald app.

Problem is Louis DeJoy is still running the Post Office. I'm sure everyone has noticed the lapse in the quality of service since he took over.
Looks like I'm going to use the app and the online version more.
