The Garden City Telegram (Kansas ) will outsource its print production
to its sister newspaper, The Hutchinson News, starting Sept. 2, owner GateHouse
Media announced.
Eight jobs,
four full-time and four part-time positions, will be lost in the move.
“The current
tariff and trade war environment has caused the cost of our newsprint to
increase by as much as 30 percent, and we know it is very difficult on our
ag-driven economy in southwest Kansas ,”
said Stephen Wade, senior group publisher for GateHouse Media Kansas, about the
move.
Dena
Sattler, GateHouse Media group publisher for southwest Kansas , praised the work of the team running
the press and mailroom at The Telegram.
“Production
teams in Garden City have for many years provided our readers and customers with
a top-notch newspaper,” Sattler said. “Our current team has continued that
tradition during challenging times.”
