For the second time this month a twenty-something year old purchased a community newspaper…somebody put The Kansan down in the “ones to watch” category. 24-year-old former reporter purchased the paper and serves as its sole employee at the moment- luckily ad revenue is covering his expenses so far. Is it a trend? Is the next generation interested in preserving Herr Guttenberg’s hard work?
In other news, newspapers are rebounding. For months and months we’ve heard (read?)about the death of the industry while those of us working in the business saw a lot of reductions, did we really think it was all going to end?
