Vindicator folding and YSU effect ?
robmat2571:
Am I to understand that they are shutting down ALL operations? Not even going to be online only? Someone surely will fill this void somehow.
Wick250:
Yes, robmat, they are shutting down the entire operation. I agree that there is an opportunity for an entrepreneur to produce an online journal, perhaps twice weekly, that features local news, sports, and opinions about valley issues. Figure no production costs and part-time contributors only that would work for a share of any profits. The Vindicator costs $17.33 monthly for home delivery. I would pay $10 for a quality online product.

The Tribune already prints the Ashtabula paper and I suspect a new "Mahoning Valley" edition is in the works.
I haven't been able to get my arms around the anti-YSU bias in the Vindicator for the last bunch of years. YSU is the best thing going in the valley and the formerly "main" paper in the valley chose to slight the school at every opportunity. I know they are liberal and JT is NOT, but doesn't their bias predate JT's return? Anyway, they didn't adapt, didn't adjust to their consumer's needs, and died. It's the way of free enterprise. They'll be more former valley residents who miss them that current residents. I have a HS friend who lives in Reno NV who sends me the obits for passed acquaintances before I ever see them. The out of towners are the ones who'll miss the info.

Ironically, because of their poor coverage of YSU sports and their liberal agenda, I finally cancelled my Vindy subscription last week, 3 days before their shut down announcement.
The saving was enough to pay for my YSU football season tickets.

Funny, the valley is about 80% or more democratic, but that's how they vote, it ISN'T how they think. Listen to Ron Verb, they think pretty conservatively, but continue to vote the way they were instructed when young. I don't get it, but the Vindy never got it either. They continued to think because we voted for Ryan, we thought like Ryan and we clearly DON'T. Ryan says the stock market rise under POTUS Trump is "meaningless". Well, we'll still vote for such lunacy, but we certainly know it's what's going on is good for us! Vindicator thought we all agreed with that liberal crap. And the bias against YSU is simply explainable. Ed Puskas, and I wish him the best is all this, tried several times to explain it to me, but he never made any sense. Sometimes he said it didn't exist, and I KNEW that was wrong. Anyway, good luck to all the employees, but for me the Vindy won't be missed.
