The Journal and Its Founding Fathers Chronicled Levy County History The Journal and Its Founding Fathers Chronicled Levy County History Staff Report The Levy County Journal is the oldest continuously published newspaper in Levy County. It chronicles the daily lives of its residents and has done so since the days of the Great Depression in 1928. Unlike other newspapers in the county that were begun around the same time, the Levy County Journal’s name has never changed nor has its purpose as the newspaper of record for the entire county. The first available issue of the Journal appears on microfilm at University of Florida library for May 1, 1928 with Roy B. Child listed as publisher and editor, and is also documented by Search for Yesterday, a History of Levy County, Florida. From its creation, the Journal was always published in the county seat of Bronson. The original publisher, Roy B. Child, was from Moore Haven, Florida, where he published The Glades County Democrat before coming to Bronson. The ownership of the Journal was left in trust after his death in the mid-1950s to his four daughters, Betty, Neva, Anna Bea and Royala. Child’s brother-in-law, Elton Cobb, leased the newspaper from the trustees and served as editor for several years. Cobb purchased the Journal in the early 1960s, according to Search for Yesterday . Cobb was an icon in the Levy County Courthouse. He was seen for decades walking down the main hallway of the first floor headed for the clerk’s office to pick up news and legal advertising. The county commission for decades listed all its legal advertising with Cobb and the Levy County Journal. It was then, and is now, the county’s newspaper of record. Times were difficult back in the early days for Cobb. When Cobb was a young man his sister married the publisher of the Journal, Roy Child, and the Childs took him in. When Child died, Cobb ran the paper, eventually buying it from his sister in the 1960s. Cobb was always close to J. Min Ayers, the man who would in later years become publisher of the Gilchrist County Journal. Ayers’ son John and wife Cindy Jo bought the Levy County Journal from Cobb when he retired. The Ayers owned the Journal for nine years before selling the newspaper to Andy Andrews, the current publisher. J. Min Ayers got his start in newspapers working at the Journal sweeping floors for Child. He would set lead letters and tear them apart for the next issue. That was in the old days of Lineotype machines. The process involved setting hot lead type in rows of letters. Two of the old machines can still be seen at the Journal office on Court Street, the longtime original home of the Journal. Cobb, J. Min Ayers and Child were all very close and worked together at the Journal for years. Like Ayers, Cobb started in the newspaper business by sweeping floors at the Journal and helping build the paper by setting hot lead for the letters. The Journal always published the legal notices from the county because it had operated in Bronson for a very long time and was located next door to the Levy County Courthouse. When Ayers and Cobb were young, there were no welfare agencies and communities helped those who needed assistance in various ways. In the case of J. Min Ayers his father died when he was young and he had to help support his mother and siblings. He had been raised in Bronson. Child, the Journal publisher, offered him a job sweeping floors. He gradually worked his way into the publishing end of the Journal. Back in those days, you were respected if you were willing to work. Ayers received help from a lot of people in Bronson, but he worked for every penny. He washed dishes and made beds at the Boyd Motel. When farmers were finished with their peanuts, they would give him the peanuts that were left and Ayers would sell them for extra money. He was doing this while holding down a job at the Levy County Journal. There were a lot of children in Ayers’ family. His mom did washing and Ayers did a lot of other side jobs while working for the Levy County Journal. When he learned that a man in Gilchrist County who owned the newspaper there had died, he bought the Gilchrist County Journal from his widow. The young publisher continued to live in Bronson and caught rides to Trenton to publish the Gilchrist County Journal. He didn’t own a car at the time, but found ways to hitch rides to Trenton. Ayers continued to be close to his old friend, Elton Cobb, publisher of the Levy County Journal for the rest of his life. Both men had come up the hard way during the depression years and they shared a common history of having learned the newspaper business at the Levy County Journal from Publisher Roy Child.

Landmark Community Newspapers, LLC (LCNI) traces its history to 1966, when eight small- town publishers pooled resources to build a printing plant in Shelbyville, Kentucky to take advantage of the growing trend toward offset technology. Two years later, they incorporated to become Newspapers, Inc. and began buying other newspapers in Central Kentucky. Within five years, Newspapers, Inc. owned 18 newspapers and four printing plants. That drew the interest of Landmark Communications, Inc. Landmark bought Newspapers, Inc. in September 1973. The company kept its headquarters in Shelbyville next door to the first printing plant. Today the company has 54 paid newspapers in 13 states, 40 free newspapers and shoppers, 16 offset commercial printing plants, seven collegiate sports publications, and 30 special publications such as real estate guides and homes magazines.

    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.
