Can Local Newspapers Be Saved?

Newspapers are struggling for readership and profitability. Yet, Americans have entrusted journalism with a role in holding government accountable and providing reliable information. In this episode, City Club of Eugene invited the perspectives of three speakers: George Custer, interim editor of the Highway 58 Herald in Oakridge; Steve Forrester, CEO of the EO Media Group; and Jackman Wilson, freelance editorial writer and former editorial page editor of The Register-Guard.
