Abstract:
In January, 2005, the sale of the 50,000--circulation Durham daily The Herald--Sun to the Paxton Media Group of Paducah, KY was completed. Paxton owns twenty-eight other newspapers around the nation with an average circulation of 30,000. On the day the sale was completed, Paxton Media began firing and escorting members of The Herald-Sun's staff to the parking lot -- starting with the paper's publisher and president. In all, eighty-one positions will be eliminated. Morgan discusses what the new ownership may mean for the newspaper.
