What’s black and white and printed all over? Frank bemoans the closing of the Providence Journal printing plant. It was the last and only plant that used flexography for printing. This esteemed Rhode Island newspaper will now be printed in New Jersey. Many papers are no longer printed in their own state.

Same is happening everywhere. When I started working for The Miami Herald back in late 1999, the paper had just inaugurated its new production room, with 5 lines of Goss Newsliner Presses. When the Herald sold its building in downtown Miami and moved to Doral in 2013, they moved three of the 5 presses. Now that facility is closed and almost ALL printed newspapers distributed in South Florida are printed by the Sun Sentinel in Delray Beach (they even print the Orlando Paper)... Unfortunately sooner than later the printed newspaper will be something from the past...
