Re “Santa Barbarans Worry About Their Paper,” July 8
Thank your for detailing the horror story of the demise of the Santa Barbara News-Press.
One of the sad results of the loss of journalistic integrity at the hands of a seemingly clueless billionaire is the lack of investigative reporting in a community that desperately needs it. Without a proactive press performing a watchdog role over the current development frenzy here, backroom deals, conflicts of interest and revolving-door relationships never see the light of day.
America’s Riviera may look lovely to tourists, but for residents, it’s another story -- one we’re forced to read about in the pages of publications produced outside the city limits.
