Media Prima newspaper printing operations return to Klang Valley from Sept 1
KLANG: Media Prima Berhad's newspaper printing operations will return to the Klang Valley from Sept 1, aimed at improving printing and logistics efficiency and speeding up newspaper deliveries to the market.
Media Prima Berhad, the parent company of the New Straits Times Press and Berita Harian, will resume newspaper printing operations in the Klang Valley from September 1. The decision to relocate printing operations aims to enhance printing and logistics efficiency, ensuring quicker newspaper deliveries to the market. According to Luqman Adrine Ja afar, the COO of New Straits Times Press, Klang Valley's central location in Peninsular Malaysia offers a strategic advantage for distribution operations, and provides more flexibility to the printing division.
The move is expected to enable newspapers to reach the market faster, giving Media Prima an edge over other publications. As part of the process, a trial phase will be undertaken in the Klang Valley, starting from September 1, and it is expected to conclude by September 7. The operation will be supported by a sufficient number of skilled personnel to ensure a smooth printing process.
Despite the proliferation of digital platforms, Luqman emphasized the importance of print media, highlighting its role in delivering accurate information and its relevance to communities with limited access to digital communication, especially in rural areas. He added that every news report undergoes a rigorous verification process to ensure accuracy and reliability.
The print media content also extends beyond news, offering educational material to help students develop critical thinking skills.
