The Honolulu Star-Bulletin has decided to cut all delivery to the neighbor islands effective Aug. 1, Publisher Dennis Francis confirmed Thursday.
"The distribution costs and the freight costs are just way out of line for the return that we get," Francis said.
Total neighbor island circulation for the Star-Bulletin is currently 1,600 newspapers. Francis said he expects the daily papers on each of the islands to fill the circulation gap created by the Star-Bulletin's exit.
Despite leaving the neighbor island markets, Francis said the Star-Bulletin will continue to operate bureaus on Maui and Kauai and in Kona on the Big Island.
As of Aug. 1, The Honolulu Advertiser will be the only daily newspaper distributed statewide. Its neighbor island circulation is approximately 15,000.
