The last print run

On Sunday March 13, 2021 printed newspapers rolled off the Mitsubishi Lithopia press at The Register-Guard at the SummerOaks building in Eugene, Ore. for the last time. The production and packaging moved to Vancouver, Wash. the next week. It was with sadness and a bitter sense of responsibility to the crew at The Register-Guard that I set about to document their last week on the job.
