Changing World of Newspapers Says Stockbridge
Frank Parker Stockbridge argues that America’s 100 year old and older newspapers, especially weeklies, thrived despite dailies. He cites Annapolis Gazette as oldest, notes many weeklies in settled regions, and contends community papers serve essential local needs better than distant outlets. He stresses resilience, longevity, and intrinsic local value.
