The first edition of The Kansas City Evening News rolled off the press Monday.
"I'm thrilled. It looks really good," said Steve Rose, president of a family-owned chain of 18 suburban weekly papers and owner of the new 50-cent tabloid.
Media analysts contend the newspaper will face tough times, especially with advertising revenues going through what one called "the worst cycle I've seen in years."
Rose said he can make a profit through low costs, small circulation and street sales. The newspaper will not be delivered to homes.
