RICHMOND, Va. - Media General's Operations & Distribution Solutions Group (O&DS) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Premiere Publishing Inc. of Knoxville, Tenn., to print its weekly newspaper, The Knoxville Journal, at Media General's Bristol, Tenn., facility.
The Knoxville Journal has been printed in Knoxville since 1839 under several owners, the latest of which is Premiere Publishing. Premiere chose to move The Journal's printing to Bristol because it offered added production flexibility for both printing and advertising, earlier deadlines, excellent quality and added color opportunities.
"We appreciate the confidence The Knoxville Journal has expressed in Media General Operations & Distribution Solutions by selecting us to provide their printing and packaging needs," said Bob Rogers, vice president of Operations for the Central Group of Media General O&DS.
In 2011, Media General O&DS has added more than a dozen new printing partnerships. In early 2009, Media General formed the Operations & Distribution Solutions Group to manage its production and distribution operations across all markets in order to maximize utilization of its production and distribution assets in the Southeast. Media General has 10 strategically located print facilities in the Southeast. In addition to printing its own newspapers, the company provides printing and delivery services for more than 125 other newspapers and specialty products.
