Courier-Journal closes three state bureaus
I just picked this up from Bluegrass Reports – a certain irony in that, I guess – the C-J is going to close its news bureaus in Hazard, Paducah, and Elizabethtown next year.
“It will be a terrible thing. People need to know what’s going on,” said Bill Gorman, 81, the longtime mayor of Hazard. “I just think that it’s going to cause all of Kentucky to suffer.”
Gorman said the newspaper “has been such a part of the mountains. We have the holy Bible and The Courier-Journal.”
It was pretty much that way in my house, too, when I was a girl in Northern Kentucky. This is not good news.

Shalom Sherry,
Sounds to me like the people of Hazard, Paducah, and Elizabethtown need to rally their citizen journalists and start community blogs.
B’shalom,
Jeff
