Staff at the long-running alt-weekly newspaper, the Colorado Springs Independent, were laid off on Monday. The immediate and severance-free firing was a shock to the small team after resurrecting the publication less than a year earlier.

A Colorado newspaper delves into the effects of a new 25% tariff on Canadian wood, now including newsprint, 80% of which is from Canada. Explore the local impact: #TradeImpact
There's a lot more to the story on the @cprnews.bsky.social website: www.cpr.org/2025/03/21/t...
But, adding to U.S. domestic newsprint supply will not be easy. Paper mills are notorious local polluters and municipalities are often reluctant to approve their construction. So, it would likely take years for that extra capacity to temper the rising newsprint costs.
Hufbauer says tariffs *can* help some domestic industries protected by the tariffs. For example, The U.S. Lumber Coalition voices strong support for the Canadian timber tariffs: uslumbercoalition.org/press-releas...
“He's absolutely right. We've done a lot of studies of tariffs in the past," said economist Gary Hufbauer. "Generally speaking, US producers of similar products raise their prices."
The New Mexican press actually sources most of its newsprint from American suppliers. Regardless, Circulation Manager Josh Harris predicts those suppliers will still raise their prices 10%-12%.
"It is capitalism," he said.
The World Journal prints at the Santa Fe New Mexican's press, which recently announced a 4% rate increase for clients, anticipating higher U.S. paper costs if tariffs are implemented.
Proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian timber, including newsprint, are set to resume April 2. Canada supplies about 80% of U.S. newsprint. Orr expressed concern that increased printing costs due to tariffs could be "devastating" for small newspapers operating on thin margins.
The World Journal in Walsenburg, CO, covers over 10,000 square miles on the CO/NM border with a small team. Co-publisher Brian Orr notes their readership prefers print editions.

Colorado Springs Utilities has announced 10 new natural gas power plants for its property near the airport.
The city-owned utility says it's hired the company ProEnergy Services to build the ten units by 2028.
