Hearst Purchases New KBA Web Press for Albany Newspaper

“For readers, the experience of reading the Times Union will be like a move from analog to high-definition technology,” said George R. Hearst III, publisher of the Times Union. “Our photography and graphics will be more lively and our type will be more readable. For advertisers, this advance means we’ll be able to offer great product flexibility. Not only will we be able to publish color advertising on every page of the newspaper, but we’ll also be able to accommodate multiple-format products—including sizes ranging from traditional broadsheet to tabloid, gatefold and variable-sized specialty products.”
