Courier-Journal upgrades newspaper handling system

摘要

Modern presses, in-plant logistics, and motion control allow late news, more advertising revenue, and faster delivery. For Louisville, Kentucky's then-132-year-old Courier-Journal (CJ) newspaper, stopping the presses was an ongoing and greater threat than the likelihood of missing a day's major news story. Given the slowness and propensity for breakdowns of CJ's over half-century-old presses, it was difficult to produce the daily news. Moreover, they weren't geared to modern, high-quality color or black-and-white content. CJ's credibility with both advertisers and readers was being affected.
