Letter: Disappointed newspapers have been consolidated

Letters to the EditorTo the Editor:

I was profoundly disappointed with Hersam Acorn’s decision to consolidate three towns into one newspaper. Anecdotally, so is every Weston resident I have spoken to about this.

I think this move causes a loss of identification the town residents have with their hometown newspaper. I would suggest this be rethought, as my guess is you will lose a lot of readership, including me.

    I view it as a great development. Clearly the, now extinct Redding Pilot, lost its audience, deservedly so, after decades of colluding with the local government to controls the voting and what Redding’s taxpayers think, a practice well exploited by Natalie Ketcham and the rest of the local Republicans. An opportunity for an objective information system and, with any luck, competing sources has been created but not yet filled. At the moment there are two sources of truly local news in Redding since The Redding Pilot has been deceased. One is the Aspetuck.News (an attempt to survive by the remains of the Redding Pilot) and the other is the Weston Patch both “reporting” on Weston Redding and Easton. Both “news reporters” are conservative and both offer a limited and censored voice to the residents, the people who keep them in business.
