The Southern
The Southern is moving to publishing only 3 print issues per week. At this rate, by 2025, they will only be putting out one issue a week, like the DE and The Carbondale Times.
Here, it could be censorship. The reason the DE was limited to one day a week could be SIUC's dislike of investigative journalism. Also, the CARBONDALE TIMES has not been the same since it passed under new ownership and discontinued NIGHTLIFE. The SOUTHERN is bland and refuses to investigate certain stories that could affect the Carbondale economy. It is not trusted for reliable news anyway.
Another symptom of Carbondale's decline.
ReplyDeleteAnd local newspapers in general. Something like 2000 local papers have shuttered during the past 5 years.
