DETROIT, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- A new Detroit daily newspaper has suspended publication after just one week, it announced Friday.
The Detroit Daily Press blamed lack of advertising, printing delays and distribution problems, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The paper printed its first edition Monday. It hoped to gain readership by offering daily delivery after Detroit's two other daily papers scaled back their deliveries to Thursday, Friday and Sunday, The Detroit News said.
The publishers of the Daily Press planned to attract advertisers with low ad rates, but advertising and circulation is down for all print publications, the News said.
"Once we can fix these things, we plan to be back stronger and more organized when we return," the Daily Press said in a statement on its Web page. "This is just a bump in the road and not the end of the Detroit Daily Press."
