The closing of the Branson Tri-Lakes News this week has caused a ripple effect for newspapers that have been printing in Branson, including the Lamar Democrat, which has printed in Branson for the past five years.
The closing of the Branson facility and the recent decision by the Joplin Globe to shut down its printing presses and move its printing to Tulsa (the Springfield News-Leader is printed in Columbia), there are few options remaining within a reasonable distance.
In a message in the latest edition, Democrat Editor Melody Metzger spelled out the situation for her readers:
It seems like many printers are going under and the ones that are around are inundated. As we attempt to find a permanent printer, we will do our best to get the paper out, even if it means having it printed at our corporate office in Tennessee and being shipped here.
