Havre Daily News will not print Monday, full paper will be online

Havre Daily News will not have a print edition Monday due to printer issues, but the full edition will be available online and all local content will be on the website at nor charge.

The Havre Daily News press broke down several months ago and the paperhas been contracting with the Independent Record to print the daily Havre Daily edition.

But a large COViD-19 infection at Independent Record means it will not be able to print all five daily editions of Havre Daily News next week.

“This is too bad for our readers,” managing editor Tim Leeds said. “We have been trying to keep things going even though our press is broken down so our readers might not even notice, but everything came together this week so that can’t continue.”

The Havre Daily press is nearly repaired, but it will not be ready to print Monday’s edition.

Havre Daily may miss more print editions. Independent Record has said it can print next week’s Friday’s edition as well, but whether it can print the Wednesday and Thursday editions is unknown.

The online edition, which normally only allows three free views of stories to nonsubscribers, will allow full free access Monday and any other days the paper is not printed.

All subscribers can access all content on the website as well as the e-edition, PDFs of the full paper available at havredailynews.com to subscribers.

Subscribers who do not have full access to the website can click on the “Free Trial” entry on the top right of the Havre Daily News web page, follow the instructions to enter name, address, email and a username and password to gain full access to the website as a subscriber.
