The Idaho Press Tribune will begin printing the Idaho Statesman, the two most recent U.S. newspapers to cut costs by sharing a printing plant, Fox 12 News reported Thursday.

Other newspapers in the United States and around the world are taking the same measure to offset rising printing costs and lower income due to a poor ad market.

The McClatchy-owned statesman and the Tribune, owned by Pioneer Newspapers, will create a joint printing plant in Nampa, Idaho, Fox 12 reported.

Both newspapers stated the change will reduce expenses while improving quality.
