- The Morning Call’s parent company offered buyouts to employees who have worked for Tribune for eight or more years. The Morning Call expects to lose managers from other departments, and additional employees next week.

Another nail in the coffin.
Not only of Gadfly’s past.
But of local news coverage.
Gadfly was just thinking. Approaching his 30th post on the Packer Ave. closing. And reading Kate Laepple’s article in the last post.
Laepple worked the Bethlehem beat for the Morning Call. Award-winning. Indefatigable. Exhaustive.
Where have the Laepple’s gone?
Who will do 30 stories on a subject of local interest any more?
Where is local news coverage going?
Toilet-ward.
What to do?
- subscribe to the Bethlehem Press
- support your citizen journalist, follow, and encourage others to follow
- be a citizen journalist, contribute to Gadfly and BP
