I’ve been ill. Sickbed reading has included Gregory Stone’s The Day Paper: The Story of One of America’s Last Independent Newspapers. It is a history of The New London Day, the prosperous newspaper in southeastern Connecticut which just so happens to be held in public trust, a non-profit paper, if you will, that cannot be sold to a conglomerate or newspaper chain, thus keeping it under local control. Local control is a subject suddenly too familiar to me.
