Morning Call Restructuring

On July 21, the Morning Call announced a restructuring involving the lay-off of 25 to 30 news room workers. The proposed Morning Call layoff numbers were also posted on the Saturday edition of the Lehigh Valley Ramblings Blog.

Yesterday,the Morning Call (MCall) launched a new look and feel. According to the Morning Call Editor, the  "Morning Call's Opinion Pages will have a new look, new features ... and even a new name: ''Lehigh Valley Town Square". This is supposed to allow the MCall readers a chance to have input, debate, and even challenge the Morning Call editorial staff. I am convinced the blogger's and concerned citizens of the Lehigh Valley do not need an invitation from the Morning Call to express our opinions and ideas.

I am wondering about Madeline Mathias, the Morning Call reporter that covers Forks Township. She is good reporter and always tried to write a fair and balanced view of our township. At times, we disagreed on critical issues, but she always treated me fairly.  I am hoping to see Madeline at our next Board of Supervisors board meeting.

Get Involved - Every Voice Counts!
