I don’t know about this paper and the truth is, I never read it and won’t miss it but the trend is disturbing. It’s the smaller pubs with local appeal that will feel the pain of the public distrust and hard economic times, not the Slimes and ComPost. Small town drivers, small town pressmen and shop helpers, layout specialists, ad salespeople.. It’s these people that are hurt by the corruption rampant in the print media.
My subscription for our local paper ran out last week and I’m not renewing it. It is getting more liberal and constantly pushes for additional spending and tax increases. My city is about 40,000 people but they think they are Chicago or New York.
News is the garbage you put in a paper so people will pick it up and look at the ads.... and they paid the price.
May she be the first of many.

"But ad revenue, the lifeblood of journalism, dried up, both because of the recession and because of the massive shift of advertisers' dollars, interest and energy from the old standby of print papers to a hodgepodge of other outlets, both online and not (mostly to nowhere, actually--this is the great unwritten story of the dismantling of the news industry, the concomitant decline of the advertising and public relations businesses)."
Keep telling yourself that quisling Fisher, keep telling yourself that. :^)
Local newspapers serve a valuable need in communities. Schools, municipal items, local sports, community calender, etc. Too bad that the dollars and cents don’t work out.

Reports and carries the local news but - quite avocationally - sings a far leftie liberal tune at every conceivable opportunity. Editor/owner sincerely believes the success of his small time fishwrap is due to his trumpeting of leftist sentiment, and he editorializes about this phenomenon quite regularly.
The FCNP is a swooning and unabashed Obama lover (in a town that voted 70 percent for Zer0); carries the full slate of NY Slimes syndicated idiots, with illiterate Commmie 5th-columnist Helen Thomas as an apertif; crams every single possible morsel of leftist pablum and effluvia into every weekly issue, believing the readers demand it.
The paper went markedly out of control upon Zer0’s election and then inauguration, but I think times will eventually temper this maniacal trajectory. For the moment, I sense that the editor/owner is having a bit of a mild economic hangover from the heady recent months of his Obama binge.
Did I mention his rabid hatred for all conservatives and also his obsessive disdain (previously expressed weekly in print) for the despised troika of Bushitler, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Oh yes. Just as expected.
Generally speaking I’d say small town local newspapers like the FCNP have a bit of a niche for those who love the local news profession and are willing to work hard at it. And so long as they include enough local news and sports they might even be able to get away with publishing yoyos such as Helen Thomas, MoDo, Krugman, and the other Slimes lineup.
