If it’s Friday today (and it is) it must be the new publishing day for the Bellevue Reporter.

Our new publishing schedule will bring you The Reporter once a week each Friday.

Switching to a once a week publication allows us to print a newspaper with more pages than either our Wednesday or Saturday newspapers. We already see those results as today’s paper is 75 percent larger than our editions last week.

Watch for new features, too. Rose Dennis brings her etiquette expertise to The Reporter starting today. Columnist Pat Cashman returns next Friday. Bill Morton’s column looking at the second half of our lives will debut this month, too.
