Charlotte Observer Buys Dow Jones Printing Facility

McClatchy’s Charlotte Observer has purchased the Dow Jones printing plant in Charlotte — a deal that publisher Ann Caulkins says “sends a clear message that we’re here to stay and we’re investing, and we have the money to invest.”

She adds in a memo to staff that “relocating printing could potentially also allow us to consider better use of The Charlotte Observer building in the future, including selling and relocating to a space more suitable to our needs.”
