CORINTH, Miss. (AP) - At a time of increased financial stress for many U.S. newspapers, a Mississippi publication is taking the unusual step of investing in its printing press.
The Daily Corinthian in Corinth, Mississippi reported that it has upgraded its press. The changes will allow the newspaper to add color pages and improve print quality.
“This investment not only represents our continued commitment to print journalism, but our commitment to the Corinth area,” publisher Reece Terry said.
Hundreds of cities and towns across the U.S. have lost their newspapers over the past 15 years for reasons including online competition and cost-cutting.
The press in Corinth also prints other newspapers, including the Booneville Banner-Independent and the Tishomingo County News.
