Two newspapers that belong to the Richmond-based Media General Inc. announced Sept. 6 they will combine to form one newspaper effective Oct. 13.
The two newspapers are the Potomac News and the Manassas Journal Messenger and share a consolidated staff. The staff will be reorganized, though, to help focus on more "community-orientated coverage," according to a story on insidenova.com, the newspaper's Web site.
Other changes include the time the staff comes in to work as well as the overall coverage of the Web site.
"This change will allow our newsroom to refocus its efforts on gathering additional news and feature stories and photographs from the rapidly growing area that we serve," said Bruce Potter, publisher of the newspapers, on the Web site."
Media General's other media properties are not expected to be affected by this move.
