The Miami Herald is shuttering its printing plant and cutting 70 jobs. TheWrap has reviewed an internal memo from Miami Herald Media Company president and publisher Aminda Marqués González announcing the changes.
The news comes just weeks after McClatchy — which owns the Herald and its Spanish-language counterpart, El Nuevo Herald — announced it was doing away with Saturday editions of the paper. Instead, it said “weekend” editions would be extended.
The print versions of the paper won’t come from the newspaper’s eight-year-old printing plant. Instead, the Herald is cutting 70 jobs and will print six days worth of newspapers at the Sun Sentinal’s press in Deerfield Beach.
In her letter to staff, Marqués González wrote, “Our colleagues affected by this move will receive severance packages and the Sun Sentinel has informed us that they will potentially hire up to 18 of our team members to support the increased work they will manage. As part of this change, we will be saying goodbye to 34 full-time and 36 part-time employees. We are sharing this news with you at this time now that all of our impacted colleagues have been informed.”

Going to be a shortage of fish wrapper paper.
Don’t rejoice.
The uber left wing Philadelphia Inquirer has gone bankrupt twice now.
It still prints its garbage every day.
Viva L’internet.
Liberal journalists are like cancer, eventually killing their hosts.
Print media is really losing out. The rag our area depends on was about 20 inches wide by 36 tall with numerous sections and several pages long when I was a kid, with lots of adds and plenty to read.
Today it’s hardly 10 pages long and the paper size is about half what it used to be.
It used to list veterans function, meetings etc. They stopped it because they are not open to the public. They are doing whatever PC thing they can think of to cut their own throats.
Yellow journalism still serves a purpose, it trains puppies where it is safe to pee.
And, bird cage liner!
Dang this turned out to be a better ‘good news’ day than I thought it would be.
Anyone still working at a newspaper printing press has to know they are operating on borrowed time.
25 years ago, I never would have predicted this change, or how fast it has taken place. There would need to be a complete and sustained breakdown of all main power grids and net towers for us to go back to the old ways en masse.
When will libtards stop butchering trees?
Well,bye!
#FakeNews fallin’ on hard times.
When I was in college I remember an instructor laughing at the idea people would read their news on a screen. He believed no one would give up the convince (easy to carry anywhere) and the feel of newsprint in their hands for a computer.
This was long before tablets and smartphones.

I wish this trend only affected leftist propagandists.
It’s a double whammy. The first hit, and probably the biggest, is driven by technology. The newspapers’ revenue model was killed by Craigslist and online ads. The second hit is self-inflicted. The newspapers’ ideological proselytizing pisses off about half of their potential audience to the point where many who might subscribe, stop.
The smartphone in particular killed print media, since you could carry your news media into the john with you for your daily ritual - the last niche held by newspapers.
Yet the horrid paper “The State” somehow keeps going.
