*The Birmingham News, The Huntsville Times, and The Mobile Press-Register stopped 7 day a week publishing on this date a decade ago, in 2012, leaving The Montgomery Advertiser as the largest daily paper in Alabama.
The changes took effect on October 1, 2012, making Birmingham the second-largest city in the United States without a daily newspaper; New Orleans became the largest that same day. New Orleans lost that dubious distinction when Baton Rouge's daily newspaper, The Advocate, began publication of a daily edition in New Orleans; further, on June 24, 2013, The Times-Picayune resumed daily publication with a tabloid edition called "TP Street" sold only through newsstands and retailers.[7] With those two moves, Birmingham became the largest city in the country without its own daily newspaper.
