PNJ Cuts 84 Jobs, Moving Paper Printing To Mobile Press-Register

April 3, 2009

The Pensacola News Journal announced today that they are cutting 84 jobs in their printing operation. The PNJ will outsource the print production of the paper to the Mobile Press-Register.

Other paper operations such as their newsroom, prepress, advertising and marketing departments will remain in Pensacola with about 200 jobs. The newspaper says their delivery schedule will remain the same despite the paper being printed in Mobile.

The PNJ says the transition to printing in Mobile will take 60 days to complete.

    I live in Perdido, however, if I want to check news on a developing story, even weather info, I come here. You get more news,faster here, than on PNJ and WEAR put together. Great job, keep it up.

    Its a sad day in America when we cant even buy a local paper, printed locally. I grew up eating breakfast and reading the newspaper, not logging into some website. Not that its a bad thing, its called progress. But, through progress somethings should not be changed, like the newspaper. Some papers across the county have some very talented, and community based writers. I can now say we are witnessing the fall of the American Newspaper. I can only dream now of eating my scramble eggs and bacon with a real news, printed on real paper. Oh and NorthEscambia, your doing great on bringing us up to date news.

    Maybe those 84 people will stop buying pnj paper. And the pnj online isn’t worth logging on either. We get more news right here.
