News, The Times’ downtown L.A. printing facility will shut down in 2024 : detailed suggestions and opinions about The Times’ downtown L.A. printing facility will shut down in 2024 .
The Times will leave its downtown Los Angeles printing facility in 2024, ending an era of newspaper production at a sprawling plant that was sold off by the paper’s former owner.
Print operations will continue at the Olympic Boulevard plant for the next year and a half, said Chris Argentieri, The Times’ president and chief operating officer, before The Times will begin working with the Southern California News Group to print its newspapers.
“Despite the difficult news, we’re providing this advance notice to help make the transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved,” Argentieri said. “We hope that manufacturing employees will continue on with us for as long as they can and will work closely with them on the transition process.”
About 170 employees work at the Olympic plant, said Hillary Manning, a Times spokesperson.
