    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.

One of Our Own: Pawnee Bill's Life as Viewed by Bloomington Residents Gordon William Lillie was born 14 February 1860 or 1861 in Bloomington, Illinois.1 The son of a laborer, Lillie achieved fame as one of the great Western heroes, and became known world- wide as Pawnee Bill. While Lillie left Bloomington early in his life and only later achieved his considerable fame, and eventually retired to a privately owned ranch near Pawnee, Oklahoma, his home town remained aware of his pedigree and followed his exploits through newspaper reports and other media. Although his early activities with fellow Western icon Buffalo Bull were largely ignored by the local press (and often fabricated by dime novel writers who considerably confused the historical record), later visits from Lillie's wild west exhibition were often described in local papers, and when (primarily in his later life) he reinforced community ties by returning to Bloomington to visit, the local press showed an enthusiasm for him as a Bloomington native who had achieved international fame but not forgotten his local roots.

  • Linda Lindus Becomes Publisher of the Pantagraph in Bloomington
    Linda Lindus Becomes Publisher of The Pantagraph in Bloomington June 30, 2005 BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Jun 30, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Lee Enterprises, Incorporated (NYSE:LEE), announced today that group publisher Linda Lindus has been appointed publisher of The Pantagraph in Bloomington, Ill., and president of the Pantagraph Publishing Co. Lindus, who has been publisher of the Herald & Review in Decatur, Ill., since 2002, also oversees Lee newspapers in Carbondale, Mattoon and Charleston, Ill., and Park Hills, Mo. Kevin Mowbray, Lee vice president for publishing, made the announcement today at staff meetings in Bloomington. He said, in part: "Since The Pantagraph joined Lee Enterprises, you've become acquainted with Linda as your group publisher. While she's widely respected and greatly liked in that role, I can guarantee you that you'll appreciate her even more as your very own publisher. If you'd like to check me on that, just make a call to Decatur or Carbondale. "While she was publisher in Carbondale, The Southern Illinoisan won two Lee President's Awards, increased circulation and turned in some of the best overall records in Lee. While she has been in Decatur, the Herald & Review, received Lee's top honor, Enterprise of the Year, in 2003, and The Southern Illinoisan, which remains one of the newspapers she oversees, received the same honor in 2004. Of course, she credits everyone else, but many of them make a point to credit her and the winning environment she creates." Mary Junck, Lee chairman and chief executive officer, said Lindus also serves in other key companywide roles and is a member of the company's top executive team.
