And while the publishing industry has changed much since those early days, our steadfast dedication to quality and our customers remains strong. Today, we do much more than print a newspaper. We are a premiere publishing company, offering affordable solutions for businesses across the Northwest. As the publishing world changes, World Publishing will still be there. We’re looking forward to our next 100 years.
