Pueblo Chieftain Parent Quits Pueblo
Gannett, the parent company of The Pueblo Chieftain, has announced the forthcoming closure of the newspaper's printing facility located in downtown Pueblo. This decision will result in the displacement of more than 50 employees who are currently engaged in printing and packaging operations. Starting in August, the printing and packaging of The Chieftain and other publications under the Gannett umbrella will be transferred to the Denver Post. The final edition of The Chieftain to be printed in Pueblo is scheduled for Sunday, August 13, with the Denver Post taking over production the following day.
