More on the Post-Globe deal

New York Post publisher Paul Carlucci tells the Boston Herald that a possible deal to print the Post at the Boston Globe's plant in Dorchester will not hurt the Herald. According to Herald reporter Jesse Noyes, "Carlucci said the number of Post copies sold locally would remain the same as that currently shipped to the Hub. About 6,000 copies of the New York tabloid are now distributed in the Boston area." That contradicts Steve Bailey's Globe column of last Wednesday, in which he reported that the Post deal could call for as many as 30,000 to 40,000 copies to be printed at 135 Morrissey Blvd. (Then again, since I first posted this item, a knowledgeable source has told me that the two figures may not be irreconcilable.) But let's wait and see.
