Title: County Courier Apparently Will Charge For Viewing Their Web Site
Post by: Henry on April 11, 2009, 09:28:44 AM

The new owner, Ed Shamy, of The County Courier apparently will not provide free viewing of articles on the Web.  I noticed after he bought it that he would put a small part of the article up but not the whole thing.  The owner used to write for The Burlington Free Press.  I will most likely be removing the link I have to the Courier from my front page index.

I heard it through the grape vine that Ed has alienated a number of folks since taking over the Courier

Definitely some changes in the paper with the new owner.  Jedd Kettler, one of the reporters that used to write for the Courier did me a lot of favors when we were celebrating BFA's 100th Anniversary.  Jed emailed me lots of photos that he took.

I decided to remove the link from my index.
