German term or phrase: Tourenverlauf
Dank Digitaldruck ist die Druckreihenfolge auf den Tourenverlauf der Zusteller abgestimmt.

A concept by which you compile your own newspaper by canvassing the web for subjects of interest to you, establish a preferences profile and by subscription, they will print on paper all pertinent contributions in traditional newspaper style, to be delivered to your house the following day (by someone with a newspaper route, I guess)

course of the route


Explanation:
It would apply to any type of route: newspaper, bus, laundry delivery, etc.

It googled well with "newspaper", more than 11 million hits. The alternative "course route" was not at all popular, however, with only about 7k hits.

This would be American English, not sure if it works in BE.
