After successful print tests in Orlando and Los Angeles, the Tribune Co. is planning more orders of paper from China's Shandong Huatai Paper Company. Tribune representatives are impressed with the "runnability and printability" of the Chinese paper, reports Editor and Publisher. Along with being "priced extremely competitively," says Tribune Co. Senior Manager of Newsprint, John Cannizzo, the paper from China "has really, really excellent formation," with "very consistent fiber distribution throughout the sheet." Gannett is also testing newsprint made in China.
