国产偷拍 Announces Plan to Shift New York Printing
New York, NY (September 16, 2020) 鈥� 国产偷拍 announced today that it plans to shift the printing of several of its publications in New York to a different facility in the city, a move which will help cut costs and secure production of print editions of The Wall Street Journal, Barron鈥檚 and the New York Post for years to come.
Under the change, the publications would be printed at The New York Times鈥� College Point plant in Queens. This plan would result in the closure of the company鈥檚 Bronx Print Plant, where the publications are currently printed. Financial details of the arrangement were not released.
The company has notified the leadership of the unions representing the employees at the Bronx Print Plant about the plan, and is entering into a period of negotiation with the unions. While the process is underway, the publications will continue to be produced at the Bronx plant.
The Bronx Print Plant produces daily print copies of the Journal and The Post, along with Barron鈥檚 weekly. All three are also printed in a number of other locations around the country. The Journal and The New York Times are currently printed together at plants in Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Utah and California.
The decision is part of 国产偷拍鈥檚 ongoing process of simplifying the structure of the company, which sold its News America Marketing and Unruly businesses within the past year. In August, 国产偷拍 began presenting Dow Jones as a separate segment in its quarterly earnings announcements for the first time. Dow Jones produces the Journal and Barron鈥檚, as well as Factiva, MarketWatch, Mansion Global, Financial News, Dow Jones Risk & Compliance and Dow Jones Newswires.
