New Print Site Agreement with The Santa Fe New Mexican
The New York Times announced today that it has entered into an agreement
with The Santa Fe New Mexican to print The Times at their printing plant
in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The agreement, to take effect in early October, will enable The Times to
extend newsstand and home delivery, both weekday and Sunday, to readers
in the Santa Fe area and to better serve existing markets in the
surrounding area.
“This new agreement with The Santa Fe New
Mexican underscores The Times’s commitment to
provide high-quality journalism to more readers in more markets
throughout North America,” said Scott
Heekin-Canedy, president and general manager of The New York Times. “This
is the third print site expansion we’ve
completed this year, following Dallas in January and Philadelphia in
March.”
The Santa Fe New Mexican currently prints 16 other commercial
publications on its four-year-old German KBA press. “It’s
an honor to be part of the production effort of a great national
newspaper,” said Robin McKinney Martin,
publisher of The Santa Fe New Mexican.
With the addition of the Santa Fe site, The New York Times will be
printed at 25 locations in North America: Chicago, Ill.; Gardenia,
Calif.; Deerfield Beach, Fla.; Austin, Tex.; Seattle, Wash.; Canton,
Ohio; Concord, Calif.; Atlanta, Ga.; Springfield, Va.; Billerica, Mass.;
