UPFRONT
NEW YORK—The New York Daily News has filed suit against Quebecor World for $6 million, accusing it of using poor quality paper for its Sunday supplement. The complaint, filed by the Daily News in New York State Supreme Court, accused Quebecor World of fraud, breach of contract and overcharging. The lawsuit said Quebecor "deceived and systematically overcharged" the tabloid by using inferior paper in printing the New York Daily News' Sunday "New York Vue" TV supplement during at least the first two years of a contract signed in May of 1997.
Donnelley Plant Is a Landmark
CHICAGO—RR Donnelley's Calumet plant has been granted preliminary landmark status by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks. Built in stages between 1912 and 1929, the facility once served as the headquarters of RR Donnelley. The 1.1 million-square-foot factory, also known as The Lakeside Press, was designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw and completed by Charles Klauder after Shaw's death. Donnelley closed the Calumet plant in 1993 after Sears, Roebuck & Co. discontinued its mail-order catalog. The facility was redeveloped in 1999 as the Lakeside Technology Center.
