A couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon an article on social media that carried the headline “One-third of United States newspapers as of 2005 will be gone by 2024.” To say that I was shocked and saddened may be a bit of an understatement, not only because I am a newspaper publisher, but that story was published within earshot of a major anniversary in my company and a major milestone in my personal career. This week marks my tenth anniversary as owner and publisher of the Palmer Journal, which is not only my hometown newspaper, but is the second newspaper that I purchased in my career.
