Beginning this fall, print editions of The Washtenaw Voice will hit the news stands every other Tuesday, instead of the previous every-other-Monday schedule.

This change is due to the Voice’s move to a new printing company, Grand Blanc Printing in Genesee County.

The Voice team doesn’t anticipate any major disruption to print readers.

“We know from monitoring news racks, that members of the campus community pick up the print editions throughout each edition’s two-week life cycle,” said Judy McGovern, adviser for the Voice. “So we don’t think readers will be concerned about a life cycle that starts on a different day.”

In addition, the Voice team aims to publish time-sensitive news to its website, washtenawvoice.com, and include less timely content in print editions.

Print copies of the newspaper can be found on the news racks located in each building across campus.

The Voice was previously printed by Adrian Telegram in Lenawee County. The new printing contract was awarded using a “request for proposals” process, which is on par with how most other significant college purchases are made.

The Voice printing budget for the 2019-20 school year is a maximum of $10,000, according to McGovern.

The Voice team meets on Mondays at 5 p.m. in TI-106. Students interested in getting involved with the paper are invited to stop by a meeting or email the editor at lgkujawski@wccnet.edu for more information.
