Springfield News-Leader moves printing


The Springfield News-Leader (Missouri) is relocating its printing and production from Springfield to a sister facility in Columbia, the paper reported. The facility prints the Columbia Daily Tribune. Both are Gannett papers.
The News-Leader news and advertising teams are staying in Springfield, the paper said.
The move is set to take place at the end of March, the paper said.
The company aims to link workers with area resources to help with looking for new jobs, and opportunities will be extended, if possible, at other company spots, according to the paper.
“As our industry continues to evolve and transform, we are forced to make changes that allow us to be competitive in the future marketplace. This is without a doubt one of the most difficult decisions we’ve had to make to date,” said Allen Jones, upper Midwest regional president. “We must strategically invest in quality, local journalism and the digital experience we provide our readers and business partners.”
