Building Tours

We welcome groups on tours of our newspaper office and printing facility. Visitors must be at least 9 to participate. To schedule a tour, please call our Human Resources department at (919) 829-4854.

Recycling

We began our recycling program in 1991 and now collect and recycle the equivalent of 50 percent of our total newsprint consumption. Most of the newspapers and magazines we collect at 327 sites in 19 counties is recycled into the newsprint we use. In addition to helping our landfills, recycling reduces the need for virgin newsprint, saves trees and helps the environment. Please join us and recycle your newspapers. Call us for information.
