The printing press behind El Paso City Hall that produces the El Paso Times ceases production Monday. Beginning Tuesday, the newspaper will be printed just a few miles away — and across the international boundary in neighboring Ciudad Juárez.
Regionally outsourcing newspaper printing is not uncommon among media outlets, but the decision by Gannett, the company that owns the El Paso Times, is notable in that printing will be moved to Mexico. This is Gannett’s first cross-border move, according to a spokesperson.
There’s no official tracker on how many American papers print in Mexico, but “it’s certainly very rare,” said Rick Edmonds, a media business analyst for the Poynter Institute, a nonprofit research organization and journalism school.

From that old jingle: “Look for the Union label!”
For El Paso, that could be literally 10 minutes away.
Gannett, is all you need to say....
They have taken over numerous previously good newspapers and turned them into Goebbels’ propaganda rags.
What is a “newspaper”?
As a reporter, I can say that “newspapers” are nothing anyone under 50 reads anymore.

Why not when we’ve already outsourced our breeding to foreigners. And how timely fresh on the heels of an Obama judge ordering the killing of babies in Texas to resume, but Democrat’s saw their risky scheme ground to a halt. I read an article over at HotAir about that, “5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily reinstates Texas fetal heartbeat law”, so give that a look. Finally some sanity. It’s refreshing to find judges who don’t want to murder babies. Democrats found government school indoctrination too slow for them, hence the never ending stream of illegal aliens.
