After more than 150 years, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin printed its final afternoon newspaper on Thursday.
The paper never missed an afternoon print in all of its years despite power outages, hurricanes and earthquakes.
Starting on Monday, the paper will convert from a standard "broadsheet" newspaper to a tabloid size, similar to the size of MidWeek.
The job cuts and suspension of the afternoon edition mirrors the newspaper troubles happening around the country. Many big-name newspapers such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Rocky Mountain News, Chicago Tribune and Philadelphia Inquirer are in bankruptcy, closed or transformed to an online entity.

Funny, I don't see the story on this at starbulletin.com, though it's on the front page of the printed edition.
