Sadly, the internet has pretty much destroyed the newspaper business. Outside of the bigger cities, which often had a morning paper and an afternoon paper, just about any population center of any size published a newspaper seven days a week. Smaller burgs would at least publish three days a week. Even that was enough for the publisher to make a decent middleclass living for him and his family. Even in slightly larger burgs that published seven days a week the owner of the newspaper was one of that burg's richest citizens, along with the owner of the local funeral home, and the owners of the local heating oil franchises.
