I found out the other day that GateHouse Media, the company that owns my home town newspaper The Westford Eagle filed for bankruptcy.
I couldn't believe it. The Westford Eagle has been a part of my home ever since we moved to Westford when I was five years old, and there's a chance I might not see it anymore. I'm kind of in the stage of disbelief. I want to say that everything will be fine, but look at how many newspapers have gone under. As much as I love the Eagle, it's not exempt from such things.
This just proves that journalism needs new ideas. I know the Eagle has been making real attempts to adapt to the digital age, but I guess that just isn't enough.
