North Carolina newspaper cuts comics, citing Trump tariffs on newsprint

A North Carolina newspaper recently decided to cut its Sunday color comics section, citing the rising cost of newsprint due to President Trump's tariffs.

The Robesonian announced the move in an editorial late last month, saying that the cost of newsprint from Canada had risen about 30 percent since the start of the year, forcing them to make the "difficult decision."

"This newspaper has made the difficult decision to drop the Sunday comics, a decision that we really believe was made at the White House," the editorial noted.

"Like all newspapers, we have been asked to do more with less, and in recent years we have been nimble in figuring out how best to use our dwindling resources," it added. "Disappointingly, we could not dance around this decision, which we would like to think is temporary."
