Three of Northcliffe's East Midlands dailies have dropped their city final editions this week as they switch to overnight printing, HoldtheFrontPage reports today.
The Leicester Mercury and The Sentinel, Stoke, have moved from four editions to three while the Derby Evening Telegraph has moved from two editions to a single overnight edition.
The move means a name change for the Derby daily. The Telegraph has dropped "Evening" from its masthead and will now be known as the Derby Telegraph.
Historical note, courtesy of the The Encyclopedia of the British Press by Dennis Griffiths. The Derby paper had been called the Derby Evening Telegraph since 1932, although it began life as the Derby Daily Telegraph in 1879.
