Where daily, weekly, trade and association newspapers, advertising supplements and customer magazines were printed for decades, the plants stand still. An emotional reality for those affected, but at the same time an opportunity. After all, in the world of the printing industry and publishing houses, information spreads quickly and so those involved rapidly learn of a site closure.
