Reading Evening Post stops five day publishing next week and relaunches with two titles

The Guardian Media Group's Reading Evening Post will relaunch on Wednesday next week as a weekly edition called the Reading Post, followed on Friday by a new paper named after its website, getreading.co.uk
It was revealed in March that GMG was going to cut the Evening Post from five days a week to two.
The new-look Reading Post – with a 20p cover price for its launch on Wednesday, June 3 – aims to have a more "upmarket" look. Then on Friday, getreading, claimed to be the first newspaper in the UK to be named after a website, will be delivered free to 70,979 homes and will also be on sale in newsagents on Friday priced 40p.
It will have a what’s on guide, a preview of the weekend’s sport plus the week’s latest news. The last Evening Post will roll off the presses on Friday with a special souvenir edition featuring the history of the paper since it launched in 1965.
On Monday getreading.co.uk will carry a new lunchtime video news bulletin and the site will continue to provide live news updates.
The Post follows the Bath Evening Chronicle in switching to a weekly format and it is thought other small regional evenings will follow the trend.
