Another sign that the “Fourth Floor” at the Lancaster Newspapers, Inc. controls content is the lack of any commentary in the Intelligencer Journal, New Era and the Sunday News on the defacto shutting down of the New Era.
The Sunday News notes the occurance in its column “Catching Up On The News” with about 60 words under “Papers Combine.” A brief mention of job losses at the newspapers accompanies those at other firms in the lead article “Where we stand in shaky economy.” But that’s it.
No editor or journalist dares to comment upon, let alone criticize, the “Fourth Floor” when it comes to closing down the New Era or, for that matter, when it comes to misleading the public concerning the Convention Center Project and the witch hunt of the former commissioners.
