Local weekly paper under threat amid community indifference
In Rivers the Gazette's weekly publication faces possible demise as gaps in distribution and waning local interest mirror wider trends. Residents rely on borrowed copies, while others question why a district of 125 households lacks a semi weekly. The piece notes the paper is an institution akin to church, dependent on cash and local support, warns that excessive criticism could hasten its end, and cites Manitoba towns now without local papers. The article previews a future Q&A from Stuart Keate, and briefly mentions nature topics and Scout awards.
