On Sunday, March 1, 2009 my paper, The Idaho Press-Tribune, began a 20-year Joint Operating Agreement with the competing local newspaper The Idaho Statesman. The agreement requires the IPT to print the Statesman daily newspaper product on our newly expanded printing press. As you can imagine this is a pretty big deal for us at the IPT.
The Statesman prints roughly 56,000 copies in their daily edition compared to around 20,000 by the IPT so as you can probably imagine, this working relationship is somewhat unique in that our largest competitor has now become our largest customer.
I covered the initial press run last night and made a slideshow as well as a video and they can be found HERE.
In addition to my coverage you may want to take a look at what the local NBC news affiliate did. Watch till the end and see if you recognize anyone... Check it out HERE.
