BEDFORD – According to a report from the Times-Mail, the Gannett-owned printing and packaging facility in Bedford which publishes the historic Lawrence County newspaper will cease all operations in April.
All publications currently printed at the Bedford facility, including the Henderson Gleaner, Martinsville Reporter-Times, Evansville Courier & Press, Mooresville Decatur Times, and Spencer Evening World, will shift to Indianapolis.
Newspaper delivery for Times-Mail subscribers will not be affected by this change.
All production employees involved with printing and packaging in Bedford will be impacted by the transition as operations cease.
Officials from Gannett said the move was linked to the paper’s shift towards a more digital product.
“As our business becomes increasingly digital and subscription-focused, newspaper printing partnerships have become standard,” a Gannett spokesperson told Times-Mail. “We are making strategic decisions to ensure the future of local journalism and continue our service to the community.”
Gannett is requesting any inquiries be directed to pr@gannett.com.
