It's our birthday, and we've created a new website to celebrate

The Moscow-Pullman Daily News is celebrating its 113th birthday today. There have been changes galore at the newspaper throughout those 11-plus decades ... so why does it feel like half of them have come in the last year?

Let’s rattle off the list: The Daily News rolled out a new e-edition in November; closed its Moscow office in December; got a redesign of its print edition in April; went to two print days a week and mail delivery to subscribers in May; and has seen plenty of staff turnover and retirements throughout the past year.

It’s been a lot — and a lot of those changes are ones we didn’t want to make. But the business climate of this era made some hard choices necessary.
