GateHouse paper in North Carolina to move printing

The Daily News (Jacksonville, North Carolina) will be printed at The Fayetteville Observer starting Sept. 24, Publisher Mike Distelhorst announced and the paper reported.

Thirteen full-time and 13 part-time employees will be cut in the move, Distelhorst said.

“The strategic move was a difficult decision as we lose many long-term colleagues from The Daily News family,” he said. “Our industry continues its transition further into the digital age and we have to make changes to be financially sound. Most U.S. newspapers are either a printer of many or being printed by someone else.”

GateHouse Media owns both papers.

The Fayetteville facility will also start printing the New Bern Sun Journal and The Kinston Free Press in September and has printed the Wilmington StarNews for nearly a decade, The Daily News reported.
