New Globe printing press not working as well as they'd hoped; fixes could take several weeks
By adamg on Fri, 07/21/2017 - 7:40pm
The Globe e-mailed print subscribers today about problems related to its new plant in Taunton:
We are in the final phases of bringing our new Taunton printing facility up to speed, and we have encountered more problems than we anticipated. Some communities are experiencing delayed deliveries, and too many of you are receiving editions that don't have final sports scores because of early deadlines. We apologize for this.
There is a dedicated team in place working to get us to where we need to be to meet our commitment to you. We are striving to make this right as soon as possible, and anticipate significant improvement in the coming weeks. We are deeply appreciative of your patience.

If only the Globe had a website where people could look up those late scores!
Yeah, except
The way the relative health of a newspaper is measured is through daily print readership. Encouraging print subscribers to ditch the print for online is not a good business plan at this time, so they need us to be happy.
Six negative Trump stories on Globe home page
I can no longer get past the pay wall, canceling my Globe subscription after the pathetic, fake Trump front page last year, predicting a stock market crash (record highs), nuclear war (none), internment camps (FDR D-NY) etc. I can just see the homepage which today features only six negative Trump stories.
Funny to watch Beat the Press with grossly overpaid "non-profit" panelists discussing how the Globe's move from Morrissey Boulevard to downtown was a "cost saving measure" and not a desperate attempt to generate income from the sale of Morrissey. After all, when the NY Times paid a billion only to lose most of it within a decade, the paper was worthless and the Morrissey real-estate had the only value, although contamination might make it a wash.
At least Beat the Press admits the resignation of the Globe's CEO, with only six months on the job, "hints at bigger issues facing the paper." A newspaper that can't even print a newspaper is in rough shape. It would be nice if someone on Beat the Press or another journalist asked the Globe how many canceled after the fake Trump page. Beat the Press indicated that the new CEO at the Globe specializes in (more) layoffs. If they reported down the middle, they might stabilize. Imagine a Kool-Aid stand where they bragged of only serving liberals. Even a four year-old would modify that business model. Sad.
When Drumpf stops acting like a foolish child ...
Maybe there will actually be positive news to report?
Your problem isn't with the Globe - your problem is with reality. News outlets are not required to be "fair" in such a kindergarten "no stupid questions" sense of dumbing down. Otherwise, I can't imagine what WWII news would have looked like! Let's be fair to the Nazis!
Who is Drumpf?
Who is Drumpf? Who is in kindergarten? The Globe has no obligation to play it down the middle nor do potential readers and advertisers (1,050,000+ Trump voters in MA) have any obligation to take it seriously. Now a shadow of its former self, on life support but Linda Pizzutti will take an expanded role, again. Ha! Beat the Press suggested the new CEO is an expert in (more) layoffs after the last CEO quit after six months. I feel bad for the non-political Globe workers behind the scenes who have or will fall victim to the far-left agenda. May the last one out shut off the lights to prevent
"Global Warming"rebranded as "Climate Change."Not to panic, FISH...not that you are, it's just a saying...
Globe is becoming irrelevant.
Barry Soetoro's (and unelectable Hillary's) inability to control the narrative means it is breaking through. F'rinstance, these esteemed gentlemen signed on to an interesting paper released in June calling out the global average surface temperature shenanigans being played by some folks. It's an interesting analysis and these folks aren't dummies to be dismissed lightly. Won't find mention of it in the globe...doesn't fit the narrative...mainstream press won't cover it.
I draw your attention to page four, the abstract, calling the temp readings "not a valid representation of reality".

We don't have to depend on the globe for our information. The internet allows us to read for ourselves studies that some folks would rather not be well circulated.
The signal will get through----Firefly
Why isn't much more pressure applied
to, oh, I don't know, China, to greatly reduce it's epic carbon footprint? Hot shot business people who who have enormous carbon footprints and wealthy people in private jets? How large are the carbon footprints of the politicians, academics, technocrats, who attend climate change conferences in Brazil, Paris, etc.? Nancy Pelosi, who used to use a government G5 jet almost every weekend to jet from D.C. to S.F. and back again (yes, she had a right to do this, I'm not disputing that)?
The internet allows us to read for ourselves
Like studies on chem trails, vaccine injuries, Bigfoot and Nessie.
Hows the expression go? Don't believe everything you read on the internet. Who needs peer review anyway.
OMFG
You've beaten that strawman dead horse enough! Get over it!
The paper itself- whichever
The paper itself- whichever edition I've gotten- has looked aesthetically horrible at points- got last Saturday's paper at work that looked so washed out that it looked like it was more black and white than washed-out color- The newspaper industry seems to be sealing its own fate with the less-for-more model they've adopted the last several years
This could be a win-win
If they'd move the Globe Direct weekly circular print contract to the same plant that can't print the Boston Globe.
I used to find the Globe's problems amusing;
now I think it would be humane to put it out of it's misery.
How the mighty have fallen.
