"Street teams" for the paper have been promoting the company's new publication, Quick, to pedestrians. Quick is a free weekday daily with abbreviated news primarily catering to twenty to thirty year olds.

The Dallas Morning News has also had an ongoing problem with its circulation numbers, inflating them to keep advertiser revenue high. In the mid-1980s, the paper was sued by the rival Dallas Times Herald, charging that the News was overstating circulation increases. In 2004, long after the Times Herald went out of business, The Dallas Morning News admitted it underreported circulation decreases, overstating Sunday circulation by 11.9% and daily circulation by 5.1%. The Morning News promised to pay advertisers US$23 million in restitution. The circulation problems worsened parent company Belo's financial condition and in late 2004, Belo laid off 250 workers, including 150 at the Morning News. The Dallas Times Herald was an afternoon publication and one of two major daily newspapers serving the Dallas, Texas area. ... 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
