Fond du Lac Reporter closing offices

The Reporter in Fond du Lac, Wis., is moving production to a sister production facility in Appleton, Wis., beginning in September.
The paper said Gannett Co. Inc., which owns The Reporter, is closing the newspaper’s downtown offices and transferring printing and distribution operations to Gannett Wisconsin Media’s Action plant in Appleton, located about 35 miles from Fond du Lac.
"We'll be able to run the operations of The Reporter and Action more efficiently at one location," Executive Editor and General Manager Richard Roesgen said.
The production consolidation will cost about 45 jobs.
