Aug. 18, 2009 — Dow Jones closing Riverside plant

Dow Jones and Co. said it will close its Riverside, Calif., printing plant, making it the sixth production site it's shuttered in the past 18 months.
The facility will close by Sept. 1. Dow Jones didn't say where printing and production will move, but it's likely the Los Angeles Times will get the contract, according to The Press-Enterprise in Riverside.
The Riverside facility produces more than 135,000 copies of The Wall Street Journal each day. It also prints Barron's and other News Corp. products.
Since News Corp. acquired Dow Jones in late 2007, the publisher closed print sites it operated in Denver, Chicago, Orlando, Fla., Des Moines, Iowa, and Dallas, transferring production to the Denver Newspaper Agency, Chicago Tribune, Ledger in Lakeland, Fla., The Des Moines Register and The Dallas Morning News, respectively.
