Thank you for visiting。

I have always loved newspapers and read them often.、munejyuka。

There's no reason。

this time、The Asahi Shimbun has announced that it will abolish its Saturday evening edition.。

What is the reason?

I was curious so I checked。

The reason is to maintain and improve the working environment of delivery workers.

to check the reason、Check the Asahi Shimbun homepage.、The reason for the abolition of the Saturday evening edition、

To maintain and improve the working environment of ASA (Asahi Shimbun Sales Office)

It was。

Labor shortage is becoming more serious、Work style reform, such as securing holidays and optimizing working hours, has become a social demand.、It was also written that。

From the delivery person's perspective、There is no doubt that life would be easier if the Saturday evening newspaper was not delivered.。

personally、The Saturday evening paper these days is fluent.、I felt that the number of pages was small.。

There are also two sheets of the evening edition of July 26, 2025, which was the last Saturday evening edition.、Only 8 pages。

With this amount of information, there may be no particular problem even if it is combined with Sunday.。

Actually、The subscription fee is even set to only include the morning edition.。

Mainichi Shimbun and Sankei Shimbun also abolished their Saturday evening editions.

Check other newspaper companies as well.、

Mainichi Shimbun and Sankei Shimbun will also abolish their Saturday evening editions from August 2025.

apparently。

Sometimes they come together so closely lol

I guess we're all on the same page here.。

The reason for the abolition is the same as Asahi Shimbun.、This is to improve the working environment of dealers.。

The reason for the abolition is、I think there is also the need to improve and maintain the working environment of dealers.、At the same time, I think this is also to reduce expenses for newspaper companies.。

The circulation is likely to be lower than that of the morning edition.。

Of course, if we abolish it on Saturdays only, we can reduce distribution costs.。

The Yomiuri Shimbun, which has the highest circulation, also confirmed this.、So far, there has been no announcement that the Saturday evening edition will be abolished.。

Evening edition will continue from Monday to Friday

this time、The evening edition will be abolished

Saturday only

is。

It will continue to be published as usual from Monday to Friday.。

Still、I think there is a possibility that the Monday to Friday evening edition will also be abolished in the future.。

The circulation of newspapers themselves is also decreasing.、I think they will abolish the evening edition in the name of cutting costs.。

I think that the management of newspaper companies themselves is changing due to the spread of the Internet.。

It is obvious to everyone that paper media is decreasing.。

What will happen in the future?。

I will continue to pay close attention and check.。

Please read to the end、thank you very much!

▼Asahi Shimbun's last Saturday evening edition。Probably won't come back...

*When the circulation of newspapers decreases、The prices of these old newspapers will probably go up in the future.
