The Sunday edition of a newspaper is normally an extra-thick issue containing a magazine section, comics section, coupons, and other sections. Doing this on Sunday is no longer universal; ''The Washington Post'' moved these extra items to the Saturday issue.
Most American Universities offer their own student newspaper with some degree of independence, and it’s nearly unheard of for a college to offer a Journalism program without operating one in tandem. Many Universities anlso have their own PR department, which typically updates a university news webpage, magazine, and other advertising publications. Amusingly articles about the same event by the student paper, the official university PR apparatus, and those by the local paper can often read quite differently. Many American colleges also partner with a large newspaper to offer free access to students and occasionally faculty and staff. While not all partake, for those that do it plays a role in keeping a campus well informed and civically engaged. Because this is most frequently limited to electronic access for cost reasons for many students attending college after the Great Recession, ''[[The New York Times]]'' is and has always been a website.
The terms "Early Edition" and "Late Edition" came from the previous practice of papers producing an afternoon edition, released in time for factory workers to pick it up on the way home from a 7-4 shift. As the American economy has shifted, so to has the publishing industry, and the last paper to produce an afternoon edition (the ''Buffalo News'') stopped doing so years ago. A variation does survive, however, in the practice in many cities of producing an early Sunday edition of the newspaper on Saturday, mainly to let coupon clippers and bargain hunters get a start on weekend shopping.
