Where Is The Journal News Going?

7 posts in this topic

Apparently, the Journal News is selling, because they are downsizing.

It says they don't have printing operations there anymore- where do they print the Journal News? And I guess a newsroom is old news.

I know the internet has challenge the newspaper industry, but I've seen Gannet completly abandon communities and still publish a paper there.

I remeber about a year ago when they annoucned that the building was for sale, they were looking to contract the printing out or share printing with another news paper, but they never gave any other insight.

Good riddance to that RAG! Unfortunately it means that 166 people will lose their jobs. I can't wait to see how they will blame this on our Pensions!
