Then & now

then now

New technology means less bulk.

Twenty some years ago we printed the newspaper at the 40 West Main Street location, In 2001 we moved print of the Summit Daily News and our sister papers to a centralized facility in Gypsum. Not long after, our graphic designers were also consolidated to central location.

Without those two operations on location, we find our footprint is far too large for our team and have found a new home just blocks West on Main Street.

As The Summit Daily News approaches almost 25 years of connecting Summit County, 2013 marks some exciting changes allowing us to better serve our community:

It just got a whole lot easier to read the Summit Daily News online. Guided by our reader’ feedback and usability research, we’ve designed our entire digital presense to streamline access to our content.
