The Boston Globe is not delivering Tuesday’s paper because of the blizzard
It will be a one-newspaper town on Tuesday.
The Boston Globe announced that it will not print and deliver Tuesday’s newspaper because of the crippling blizzard — an “unprecedented decision” since the paper was founded in 1872.
The Globe prints in Taunton, where 29 inches of snow had fallen as of Monday evening. Taunton is in Bristol County, which was under a travel ban for non-essential travel due to dangerous road conditions.
“We don’t take the decision lightly,” Josh Russell, VP of print operations at Boston Globe Media, told the Globe. “We’re not confident that even if we got a crew in tonight, that we could get the papers on our trucks safely. We weren’t confident that that last mile would be doable.”
Globe subscribers will get the historic blizzard Tuesday edition on Wednesday. The subscribers will also get the Wednesday edition that day.
Single copies of Tuesday’s Globe newspaper will not be in stores, according to the Globe.
It’s the first time in the Globe’s 153-year history that management decided to not print and deliver a paper.
