What happened to Tom ???

The person who gets this job would be in charge of some good people.

Good preps, especially in football where Southern Columbia and Selinsgrove are on the state stage annually.

This is also the hometown paper for Bucknell U., and they do travel with the basketball team (at least for league games and anything in the NCAAs.)

CNHI has destroyed this place.

Do. Not. Touch.

The only thing not gutted here has been the sports department. They've basically cut the number of pages by a third, at least, since the paper was sold two years ago.

I'm presuming the numbers include The Danville News, which also is part of the operation. (Not sure whether they still have a separate Danville bureau.)

 

when did cnhi do these folks the disservice of buying them?

 

Part of the handful of papers they got from Ottaway in 2006.

 

Tom Housenick has taken a job at the Allentown Morning Call.

 

imagine going from ottaway to cnhi ownership overnight.

i have to wonder how much this has to do with this gentleman no longer being there.

 

Wow, yet another husband-wife team in the AMC sports department. Unless Tom is in another part of the paper.

Guess the Housenicks can finally sell their house in Hazleton.

 

Rumor has it Tom's now a member of The Call's universal desk.

 

Any word on this job yet?
