Tallahassee Democrat moving printing

The Tallahassee Democrat is shutting its production facilities and will move its printing and packaging to the Panama City News Herald, the Democrat reported. The shutdown is happening in May. 

Some 46 workers at the Gannett-owned plant will be affected by the change. Some could be looked at for open positions at the Panama paper, the Democrat says.

The first Tallahassee Democrat will come from the Panama City press May 20, the paper reported. The News Herald runs a 2005 Goss press. The Democrat’s press is a 1968 model, the paper said.

“While Gannett has made a logical business decision, it is still painful because of the production employees in Tallahassee who have been best in class,” said Democrat Publisher Skip Foster.
