Times-Picayune Closing Pressroom, Cutting 100 Jobs

NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune says it will be closing the newspaper’s pressroom in late 2015 or early 2016.

The New Orleans paper will be printed in Mobile, Alabama.

The move will eliminate 100 jobs at the company, which prints and packages the newspaper.

NOLA Media Group, which operates the website and publishes the newspaper, says news and ad sales staffs will remain the same.

Its news staff of 165 includes 95 reporters. Fifty-seven freelancers also contribute to the website and newspaper.

The New Orleans plant was built in 1968 and the one in Mobile in 2002. It prints The Press-Register 144 miles east of New Orleans.
