closeIn 1966, the Mamas and the Papas had a No. 1 hit with the song "Monday, Monday." It included the line, "Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be."
Forty-two years later, The News & Observer hopes to rectify that lapse.
Starting June 30, Monday's front page will focus more on what's going to happen than what has happened. It will look at what's coming in politics, government, business, sports and culture. In place of the news summary on the left side of the page will be a staff-written news forecast. Stories will be shorter, some holding to the front page.
More Local & State
Financial pressures have put a new emphasis on coverage that uses less space. The Monday A section, for instance, will lose two pages, including the Monday op-ed page. But necessity can spur improvement. Next Monday, we hope you'll agree.
Get it all with convenient home delivery of The News & Observer.
The News & Observer is pleased to be able to offer its users the opportunity to make comments and hold conversations online. However, the interactive nature of the internet makes it impracticable for our staff to monitor each and every posting.
Since The News & Observer does not control user submitted statements, we cannot promise that readers will not occasionally find offensive or inaccurate comments posted on our website. In addition, we remind anyone interested in making an online comment that responsibility for statements posted lies with the person submitting the comment, not The News and Observer.
If you find a comment offensive, clicking on the exclamation icon will flag the comment for review by the administrators, we are counting on the good judgment of all our readers to help us.
