June 30, 2009 -- Austin paper to print Waco

The Austin (Texas) American-Statesman will begin printing sister paper Tribune-Herald in Waco, Texas, effective July 13.
The move will eliminate 43 jobs, according to the Tribune-Herald.
The American-Statesman recently beefed up its postpress operation and has sufficient press capacity to print the 35,000-subscriber Tribune-Herald.
The Tribune-Herald said it hopes to retain some of its existing commercial printing accounts even after it stops printing the daily paper.
Cox Newspapers owns both dailies.
