In an effort to cut costs, the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram have entered into a joint-distribution deal which means that DMN delivery folk in Dallas will now also deliver the FWST, and FWST delivery folk in Fort Worth will now also deliver the DMN.
The DMN gets more bang for its buck: It'll deliver about 5,000 daily copies and 7,000 Sunday copies of the FWST in Dallas, Cook, Denton, and Ellis counties, while the FWST will deliver about 21,000 daily copies and 20,000 Sunday copies of the DMN in Tarrant, Parker, Hood, and Johnson Counties.
Never would have expected to see the day that the two rival newspapers would be carrying each other's books home from school; then again, never would have expected to see the FWST execute three buyout/layoffs so far in 2008, or Belo undergo a third round of buyouts/layoffs since 2004, this time cutting 500 employees, 413 of which have taken a buyout so far, 270 from the DMN, with Belo targeting another 80 layoffs by mid-October. How long before the two papers become one?

Pavel, were you expecting an in-story ad for cheap wash bins (CALL NOW and receive it pre-filled with ice, including complimentary hacksaw)?
If you weren't, I don't know who you are anymore.
