Fort Worth, Dallas newspapers combine printing

 

DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Morning News has reached a deal with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram to print the Fort Worth paper at its suburban Dallas printing plant.

No terms were announced, but Star-Telegram Publisher Gary Wortel says the long-term agreement will eliminate more than 75 full-time and 200 part-time jobs at the Star-Telegram printing plant on the southern edge of Fort Worth.

The Morning News already prints regional editions of USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times at its Plano plant.
