Times-Journal Inc to print six SCNI newspapers

As the future of print is uncertain, finding new opportunities in outside printing will be a key part of survival for many of our newspaper operations. Many continue to struggle through the financial challenges brought on by COVID-19. Prior to the pandemic, many newspapers were on a positive path, slowly working their way through declining ad revenues, reductions in preprints and the ever-increasing shift from print to digital media. One of the most well thought out progressive synergies in outside printing is coming to fruition in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of Georgia between Times-Journal Inc and Southern Community Newspapers Inc (SCNI).

Times-Journal and SCNI have had an ongoing relationship that will now include printing, inserting and other preparation services for six SCNI newspapers at the Times-Journal press facility in Rome, Ga. These publications include the Gwinnett Daily Post, Rockdale Citizen, Newton Citizen, Henry Herald, Clayton News Daily and Jackson Progress-Argus.
