History of the McMinnville newspaper T-R (Telephone-Register) and N-R (News-Register)

“The McMinnville Telephone-Register newspaper was a “weekly publication for 64 years … became the Daily News-Register for 5 years in the 1950s … dropped back to twice weekly due to financial challenges … went to a tri-weekly in 1976 … back to twice-weekly in 1990 … returned to tri-weekly in  1993 … and back to twice-a-week in 2008. And throughout that time, probably changed actual days of delivery a dozen times. Today, people in the industry say we’re crazy to remain semi-weekly instead of dropping back to weekly, but we’ve managed to resist that change so far.” -- Jeb Bladine <jbladine (at) newsregister (dot) com>  Date: Sat, Jan 2, 2021 at 8:18 AM
