<\/a> Hoy<\/p><\/div>\n

Another tronc<\/a> newspaper in Chicago is reducing its frequency in print.<\/p>\n

This time it\u2019s Hoy,<\/a> <\/em>the Spanish-language paper that began as a daily and later shrank to three days a week. As of this week, it will appear in print only once a week \u2014 on Fridays. The companion publication Fin de Semana,<\/em> which covers entertainment, shopping and fashion, will continue on weekends.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2003, Hoy<\/em> long claimed to be the largest Spanish-language daily newspaper in Chicago. Current circulation figures were not available.<\/p>\n

The reduction follows a similar move<\/a> by tronc earlier this year when RedEye, <\/a>the free daily tabloid for young adult commuters, downsized into a weekly dining and entertainment guide distributed on Thursdays.<\/p>\n

Both Hoy<\/em> and RedEye are published by Chicago Tribune Media Group, a unit of Chicago Tribune parent company tronc.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for Chicago Tribune Media Group said the company remains committed to Hoy<\/em> in its print and digital forms. By \u201cstreamlining\u201d distribution, Chicago's Hoy<\/em>\u00a0will be on the same schedule as its counterpart in Los Angeles. She cited \u201csignificant growth\u201d in online views of Hoy,<\/em> saying the company plans to focus on keeping the momentum going in its digital transition.<\/p>\n

No jobs were eliminated by the change, according to the spokeswoman.<\/p>\n

The former Tribune Co. sold the New York edition of Hoy<\/em> in 2007 to ImpreMedia, its biggest competitor. Last year tronc rebranded The San Diego Union-Tribune\u2019s Spanish-language Enlace<\/em> as Hoy<\/em> San Diego.<\/p>\n

Hoy<\/em> also publishes titles in Philadelphia and Central and South Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
