Finding Subscribers

“Both the Paradise Post and the Enterprise-Record had a good number of subscribers in Paradise, and now we don’t have a town to deliver it to.”

—David Little, editor of the Chico (CA) Enterprise-Record, on continuing to publish after fire has wiped out the town of Paradise, “A California town is scorched and empty, but local journalists still deliver,” CNN, Nov. 24, 2018.

• Editorial Note: A very sad paper route.
