  • Anderson Ends 'Customer-First' Career at the News-Enterprise
    LCNI news 20 Pages Landmark Community Newspapers, LLC March 2017 Anderson ends ‘customer-first’ career at The News-Enterprise By Jeff D’Alessio The News-Enterprise On his first day of retirement Wednesday, Feb. 22, after more than 45 years as an advertising sales representative, first with the Elizabethtown News and for more than 42 years with The News-Enterprise, Bill Anderson will pack up decades of memo- ries and throw away some desk clutter. He’s not sure what will occupy his time Thursday. “Reality will set in then,” Anderson said last week. “I’ve been coming in that same door for a lot of years.” Anderson, 69, has been a staple of the newspaper advertising department with a passion for the product and a “customer- first” work agenda. He said he has been considering retire- ment for about two years and the timing now, more than ever, seemed appropriate. But the decision brings with it many ques- tion marks. “I’m not the kind of person to just sit around and do nothing,” he said. “I don’t really have any hobbies. I’m just stopping what I’m doing.” Bill Anderson, who was number 2 in LCNI seniority, retired Feb. 21 after more than Anderson, who graduated in 1965 from 45 years as a sales rep at the Elizabethtown News and The News-Enterprise.

  • Brooks Hired As Editor for Las Vegas Opɵc
    LCNI news 18 Pages Landmark Community Newspapers, LLC June 2017 Brooks hired as editor for Las Vegas OpƟ c As the eyes of the nation turned toward Iowa and its outsized role in the 2016 presi- dential campaign, Jason W. Brooks found himself interviewing the likes of Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley, Mike Huckabee and Marco Rubio, and covering a rally by the candidate who eventually emerged from it all — Donald Trump. Brooks, whose life and journalism career have taken him across the country, from his native Washington, D.C., to southern Cali- fornia to New Mexico and the Midwest, is the new editor of the Las Vegas Optic. He officially started at the Optic on May 15. Brooks’ interest in journalism was germi- nated from a young age. When he was just 8, he became a regular reader of the Washington Post.

  • December 4, 2017 the Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washi
    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.

The Postal Service Reform Act of 2017, HR 756, recently ordered reported by the Oversight and Government Reform Committee would do just that, and create a savings of $6.3 billion in the process, according to the Congressional Budget Office. We urge you to approve or otherwise move this bill forward as swiftly as you can. The Postal Service is the hub of a diverse mailing industry critical to the economy and the growing e- commerce sector so important to our economic recovery. The combined industry and its suppliers in paper, printing and technology, comprising hundreds of large companies and thousands of small businesses, employs 7.5 million Americans and generates $1.4 trillion in sales revenue.1 That is 4.6% of total U.S. output. Yet, the Postal Service teeters on the financial brink, threatening many of those jobs and the industry’s economic output. HR 756 would put the Postal Service on a firm path to financial stabilization and is a bipartisan- sponsored bill that enjoys broad bipartisan support. It was approved by OGR by voice on March 16. It has also managed the virtually unprecedented feat of uniting all of the Postal Service’s stakeholders – the mailing community, the postal unions, and the Service itself – in support.

    LCNI news 12 Pages Landmark Community Newspapers, LLC September 2016 Model resident Passion for building small-scale replicas endures past childhood By Jordan Bomse For the Citrus County Chronicle Model airplanes have been around for more than 50 years, and Citrus County (Fla.) resident Stephen Thein, who works at the Citrus County Chronicle as distriubtion center coordinator and sin- gle copy collecotr, has been piecing them together for most of his life. The Long Island native, 56, first became interested in planes as a child. His father was a pilot in the military for more than 20 years. The intrigue all began when he was a child on a family trip and bought a car model to work on. It inspired him to begin making models related to the military. He knew then this would not be a short-term fascination. He learned the history from reading a variety of books along with watching an assortment of television shows on the subject. It intrigued him even more. “2018 will be 50 years since I started,” he said of making models. “It was a family trip to Kennedy Airport that piqued my interest in planes,” he said. Seeing real airplanes inspired him to build model airplanes. He knew he would have to work on the models for a few hours each day; however, it was well worth it in the end to see the finished product, he said. “I work on each model about 25-30 hours a week. I don’t work on them all day, every day; only two to three hours each day,” he said of his present-day endeavors.
