MARQUETTE — Beginning Wednesday, The Mining Journal will be delivered to its subscribers by the U.S. Postal Service.

The announcement comes after weeks of planning and meetings with high-level postal officials to arrange for the same-day delivery of more than 6,000 newspapers.

“We are happy to be able to partner with the U.S. Postal Service to deliver our newspapers daily in the safest and most dependable way,” said Ann Troutman, publisher of The Mining Journal. “Newspapers across the country are turning to mail delivery as the costs associated with mail delivery have become more attractive.”

Troutman said many of The Mining Journal’s readers will have their newspapers delivered to their homes earlier in the day with mail delivery. Anyone experiencing problems with their mail delivery should still contact The Mining Journal’s circulation department at 906-228-2500.

“For more than 150 years, The Mining Journal has brought its readers the news and features they want and expect. This is our mission. It always has been and always will be,” said Bud Sargent, managing editor.
