Blizzard prompts Boston Globe management to call off printing paper for first time in 153 years
The Boston Globe halted print for only the second time ever due to unsafe travel and delivery conditions, with just 25% of Monday’s papers reaching subscribers, officials said.
- On Tuesday, The Boston Globe suspended daily printing for the first time in its 153-year history due to a snowstorm making production unsafe, blocking access to the printing plant.
- Snow and high winds prevented staff from safely reaching the Taunton printing plant, stopping production as parts of Bristol County recorded 32 inches by Monday night and T.F. Green International Airport got nearly 38 inches, the National Weather Service said.
- Long ago the Globe went to press during a Feb. 7, 1978 edition blizzard, while labor strikes in the 1950s and '60s and snow blocking delivery trucks a mile or two limited circulation.
- Print subscribers will get Tuesday's paper on Wednesday, the Globe said, as presses remain idle while staff could not safely reach the plant.
- A 2025 Pew Research Center survey found only 7% of U.S. adults often use printed newspapers, compared with 56% relying on smartphones, computers, or tablets.
