If its printer breaks down, News Corp has a plan B.

 

Distribution newsagents in South Australia have been issued with stocks of rubber bands in the case of a malfunction at News Corporation’s printing plant.

 

News Corp recently installed a new printer in its Adelaide plant and to provide a plan B in case there is an issue connecting their flat wrap machine for home delivery newspaper preparation, the company advised distribution newsagents it would provide with rubber bands.

 

Distributors received an unspecified quantity of rubber bands with their newspaper delivery  – enough to cover them for one week of banding home delivery papers should an emergency contingency be required for wrapping and delivery of newspapers.

 

Footnote: The Advertiser, Adelaide’s major daily newspaper, has a weekday circulation of around 230,000 while the Sunday Mail’s circulation is around 350,000. However, the percentage of home delivery copies is not broken out.
