Tariffs pushing printing costs
up for newspaper

Adams Publishing Group, which prints The Klamath Falls Times and numerous weekly newspapers, including The Chronicle, informed its clients this past week that printing costs will rise by 5% immediately. 

On March 17, Doug Wilson, vice president of production for Adams Publishing Group, wrote to customers in advance of the expected implementation of tariffs on April 2: “The U.S. government will implement a 25% blanket tariff on newsprint and Hi-Brite paper goods imported from Canada. 

“As a result of this governmental action and local supplier actions, beginning Sunday, April 6, APG will only implement a 5% price adjustment due to this federally mandated tariff. A line item on your invoice will identify the tariff’s impact. We will also inform you of any future changes to this tariff if the Federal Government keeps them in place. If the tariff changes upward or downward or eliminated, we will adjust your bill accordingly,” Wilson wrote.

Chronicle publisher Noel Nash said the paper’s leadership team is monitoring the situation.

“We are like many other small, independent business owners trying to adjust to these tariffs – in our case, those imposed upon wood-and-paper products,” Nash said. “We don’t plan to increase our subscription rates at this time; we don’t want to pass on these tariff charges unless it’s a last resort.”
