Irish Times to be printed in New York

The Irish Times became the latest daily newspaper to be printed digitally in New York by Newsworld Corp. The title is being produced at Newsworld’s partner, AlphaGraphics, which also prints the London Daily Mail at its New Jersey facility for New York distribution (see News & Tech, March 2009).
Like the Daily Mail, the Times is printed on AlphaGraphics’ Screen Truepress Jet520 digital press.
The Irish Times is published six days a week, with paginations and run lengths varying from day to day, Newsworld said. Copies are distributed across New York City as well as to Washington and Boston.
“Where we have previously flown in copies of the newspaper, we are very excited that the technology and service is available,” said Ingrid Jones, international distribution manager for the Irish Times. “Our job now is to build on the existing circulation figures for New York and develop the paper for the relevant audience and readership, something we can do with the benefits and opportunities provided by digital production.”
