Headline: “A Newspaper Was Planning Its Last Edition. Then the Press Caught Fire.”
“. . . but on Monday morning, Ms. Baranauckas received an email with some troubling news: There had been a fire at the printing plant in Rockaway, N.J.
“Gannett would not comment on the Local’s situation but did release a statement saying that there were no injuries in the fire. ‘Two printing presses sustained damage and some production schedules were impacted,’ it said.
“For the Local, alternatives were scarce; it’s not so easy to find someone to print a newspaper these days. But Ms. Baranauckas was resolute.
“We will figure out a way to do it,” she said. “If I have to print it out on my home printer and walk it door to door, that’s what I’ll do.”
