The New York Times announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Philadelphia Newspapers LLC, publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, to print The Times at their Schuylkill printing plant in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania and to distribute home delivery for The Times throughout the Philadelphia area.
The agreement, to take effect in early March, will enable The Times to extend weekday and Sunday home delivery to readers in the Philadelphia area as well as better serve existing markets in the surrounding area.
