The Lawrence Journal-World will stop publishing a printed newspaper beginning May 25, the newspaper reported. 

Editor and Publisher Chad Lawhorn said the changes were aimed at making the company as efficient as possible in meeting reader and advertiser needs. Lawhorn said reader interest in digital-only subscriptions has grown. The newspaper will continue to publish the other six days of the week. The last Monday print edition will be published May 18. 

Many newspapers across the country have reduced the number of days they print editions as readers migrate to their websites and as they struggle with declining advertising revenue.
