Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based, The Philadelphia Inquirer. a major print and email news operation serving the Philadelphia metropolitan area, has announced that it will be selling its printing facility located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The sale will impact 500 employees. The company will outsource its printing operations to the Gannett Company, the largest newspaper operation in the United States, located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
The decision is purely an economic one as the company struggles to achieve long-term economic stability in a declining media market severely impacted by online media sources and the efforts of citizen journalists posting with real-time/on-location reports on social media platforms.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
