Christian Science Monitor gives up daily printing

The century-old newspaper's circulation has dropped to 52,000 from a 1970 high of 220,000, so it will stop printing a daily paper and go web only. There will be a new weekend magazine in print. "We have the luxury — the opportunity — of making a leap that most newspapers will have to make in the next five years," editor John Yemma said. The Monitor is a non-profit, church-owned paper.
