Daily Progress to shut plant, print newspapers in Richmond
By News in Brief
July 14, 2008
CHARLOTTESVILLE—Twenty-five pressroom and mailroom jobs are being eliminated at The Daily Progress, leaving the Charlottesville newspaper with about 95 employees. The paper is shifting the printing and packaging of its 30,000-circulation daily and Sunday newspaper to the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s Hanover County press center.
Daily Progress Publisher Lawrence L. McConnell said the decision was a difficult one that was made after weighing the extensive capital investment required to continue the printing operations.
The newspaper’s 25-year-old presses would require several million dollars in repairs to continue long-term operations at the plant in Albemarle County.
Both the Progress and the Richmond Times-Dispatch are owned by Richmond-based Media General.
