Abstract:

In January 2005, the Durham Herald-sun, a paper locally owned by the Rollins family for over one hundred years, was sold to the Paxton Media Group, of Paducah, KY. After the sale, Paxton dismissed a number of the newspaper's employees. Brown, a Durham city councilman, discusses his concerns for the city's journalistic future.
