Why Is This Week’s Paper In Two Sections?

Why is this week’s paper in two sections? We get asked this every time it happens.

The Bruce Peninsula Press is printed overnight at Huron Web Printing in Wyoming, Ontario. Once our pages are finished at our office here in Tobermory, we upload the files electronically so the paper can be printed overnight and delivered the next morning.

Our goal is to keep the paper to 32 pages or less in a single section – that’s the maximum number of pages the press can print in one section. When we have more news, photos, community events and advertising than will fit into 32 pages, the paper has to be printed in two sections.

Printing two sections isn’t our first choice – it means one section has to be completed and sent to the printer earlier than usual, making for a very busy newsroom. But when there’s simply too much happening to fit into one section, we’d rather bring you all the local news than leave stories behind.

So, if you find two sections tucked inside your newspaper this week, it’s simply because there was too much good community news to fit into one!
