PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Providence Journal will no longer be printing in Providence. The printing plant, located on Kinsley Avenue, will officially be shutting down in March, according to Gannett’s owner. 136 full- and part-time employees will lose their jobs, and The Providence Journal will now be printed in New Jersey. “The decision to close our printing facility in Providence was prompted by an insurmountable supply chain issue. The press utilizes specific plates produced by a single manufacturer, who will be discontinuing their production — rendering our press inoperable,” said a spokesperson in a statement.  “Our commitment to the community is unwavering and the staff at The Providence Journal will continue to provide readers with quality, local content that matters most to them, and to connect our valued advertising partners with the customers they want to reach,” they continued. In 1987, The Providence Journal opened its $60 million production plant, and has used it for about six decades. Categories: News
