DULUTH, Georgia — The Christian Index will transition primarily to an online presence Jan. 1, 2016, the Georgia Baptist Convention’s newsjournal recently announced.
“Bowing to the pressures of an increasingly difficult economic climate with rising production and distribution costs — coupled with declining revenue from circulation and advertising — The Index will produce its final biweekly print edition Dec. 24,” the paper reported in its Sept. 3 print edition.
J. Gerald Harris, the paper’s editor, noted in an accompanying editorial that the online Index (www.christianindex.org) “will allow us to produce more up-to-date news items by posting stories and sharing opinions on events almost as soon as they happen. News alerts featuring political, ethical and cultural issues also can be posted on The Index website expeditiously.”
