Guild decries Buffalo News move to print in Cleveland, loss of 160 jobs

The Buffalo News will axe 160 production employees following its plans to move its printing operation to Cleveland. The change was announced by parent Lee Enterprises earlier this year.

“We believe The Buffalo News should be printed in Buffalo, not in Cleveland or any other city outside of the Western New York region that we serve.”

The further claim that Lee will sell the property and channel the funds elsewhere.
