PLANO—Subscribers to the weekly Baptist Standard will receive the news four days earlier, beginning the first week in March.

The Baptist Standard —which includes links to the top news stories, commentary and other content posted on its website—will arrive in subscribers’ inboxes on Thursday, rather than Monday, effective March 3.

“This new release date came from some very energetic discussion with the Baptist Standard staff and board of directors in late January,” said Jon Mark Beilue of Amarillo, chair of the board’s news committee.

“It’s a new date that is more convenient for many of our readers and an example of the willingness to respond positively to readership patterns and work habits while still providing the same in-depth reporting and thought-provoking opinion on Baptist life.”

Baptist Standard Editor Marv Knox noted a desire for subscribers to receive timely news soon after it is posted on the website, rather than after a weekend when little content is posted.

“Thursday is a prime readership day for news organizations such as the Baptist Standard,” Knox said.

“So, this move will provide two benefits to our subscribers. We will deliver the news on a day when, research shows, it’s convenient for them. And we will close the gap between when we write it and when they read it.”

An annual subscription to the Baptist Standard, exclusively delivered digitally, is $10. Subscribers who receive the quarterly CommonCall feature-oriented magazine receive two free subscriptions to the Baptist Standard email.
