Springfield News
"…we’re helping them transition after the closure."
After many years printing high-school newspapers, festival guides and other web press products, The Springfield News is preparing to stop doing commercial printing.
“We are focusing our resources on the newspapers,” said Willmann. “We certainly appreciated all the hard work all the folks here put in on the press and composing and in the mailroom, and we’re helping them transition after the closure.”
“Those resources would be distracting us from our core purpose, which is to serve our advertisers and readers with interesting, effective newspapers,” she said. “ My guess would be by the term "effective newspapers" would be delivered totally electronically on line?
Good luck!
There is a reason that papers to not use the Web as their primary method of delivery. It is inconvenient & it is like trying to read a newspaper through a 3 inch square
It’s going to be really great, we are super excited about it,” she said. “I don’t know of any other newspapers in Oregon that are doing this.”
It has been many years since I haven't had anything to do with the Springfield news, but assuming that things had not changed that dramatically, that two day a week newspaper relied on commercial printing to support the newspaper side of things.
So by "transitioning" does that mean that they are laying off employees or retraining them for other departments?
I guess we will have to wait and see.
