The Advance-owned (Easton, Pa.) Express-Times will print to Staten Island beginning in June, the paper reported Wednesday — “a move that will result in 12 full-time and 26 part-time job losses.”
President and Publisher Lou Stancampiano tells the paper there are no plans to reduce print frequency at The Express-Times. The Staten Island press is four-color and “will have better reproduction and full color on virtually every page,” Stancampiano said.
Morning Call reporter Sam Kennedy writes that this is the paper’s second incidence of job cuts in 2013: “About 20 jobs in several departments were eliminated in January, accounting for nearly 10 percent of the payroll’s 234 full- and part-time workers.”
The Express-Times notes “The Express-Times and its predecessor newspapers have operated in Easton since 1855.”
A daily newspaper has been printed in Easton since then, except for a yearlong period during the Civil War when the paper’s operators fought in the Union Army.
