Imported Canadian Newsprint Tariffs Are Reduced, But Not Eliminated, by Department of Commerce
David Chavern, president and CEO of the New Media Alliance, hopes it's the latter. “These import duties on newsprint have already caused job losses in the printing and publishing sectors and have resulted in decreased news coverage in local communities. Although this is a step in the right direction, the reduced rates only lessen the pace at which the tariffs are harming the industry. We hope that the International Trade Commission will entirely reverse these misguided tariffs at the end of the month.”
