Since 1997,{{Sfn|Peterson|1997}} ''The New York Times''{{'}}s primary distribution center is located in [[College Point, Queens]]. The facility is {{Cvt|300000|ft2}} and employs 170 people as of 2017. The College Point distribution center prints 300,000 to 800,000 newspapers daily. On most occasions, presses start before 11 p.m. and finish before 3 a.m. A robotic crane grabs a roll of newsprint and several rollers ensure ink can be printed on paper. The final newspapers are wrapped in plastic and shipped out.{{Sfn|Lee|Koppel|Quick|2017}} As of 2018, the College Point facility accounted for 41 percent of production. Other copies are printed at 26 other publications, such as ''[[The Atlanta Journal-Constitution]]'', ''[[The Dallas Morning News]]'', ''[[The Santa Fe New Mexican]]'', and the ''[[Courier Journal]]''. With the [[decline of newspapers]], particularly regional publications, the ''Times'' must travel further; for example, newspapers for Hawaii are flown from San Francisco on [[United Airlines]], and Sunday papers are flown from Los Angeles on [[Hawaiian Airlines]]. Computer glitches, mechanical issues, and weather phenomena affect circulation but do not stop the paper from reaching customers.{{Sfn|Van Syckle|2018}} The College Point facility prints over two dozen other papers, including ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' and ''[[USA Today]]''.{{Sfn|Dunlap|2023b}}

''The New York Times'' has halted its printing process several times to account for major developments. The first printing stoppage occurred on March 31, 1968, when then-president [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] announced that he would not seek a second term. Other press stoppages include May 19, 1994, for the death of former first lady [[Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis]], and July 17, 1996, for [[Trans World Airlines Flight 800]]. The [[2000 United States presidential election|2000 presidential election]] necessitated two press stoppages. [[Al Gore]] appeared to concede on November 8, forcing then-executive editor [[Joseph Lelyveld]] to stop the ''Times''{{'}}s presses to print a new headline, "Bush Appears to Defeat Gore", with a story that stated [[George W. Bush]] was elected president. However, Gore held off his concession speech over doubts over [[2000 United States presidential election in Florida|Florida]]. Lelyveld reran the headline, "Bush and Gore Vie for an Edge". Since 2000, three printing stoppages have been issued for the death of [[William Rehnquist]] on September 3, 2005, for the [[killing of Osama bin Laden]] on May 1, 2011, and for the passage of the [[Marriage Equality Act (New York)|Marriage Equality Act]] in the [[New York State Assembly]] and subsequent signage by then-governor [[Andrew Cuomo]] on June 24, 2011.{{Sfn|Dunlap|2016d}}
