Ominous signs for the Panhandle Sun

On his Bay Views blog, Herb Huseland writes of his parting with the Panhandle Sun and of the departure of editor Mary Jane Honneger.

“This week was a sad one for everyone connected with the Panhandle Sun. I resigned for several reasons that will go unsaid, Monday. Today, I read in the current issue that our editor, Mary Jane Honneger is also leaving.

I think that everyone connected to management will need to take a long look at current expenses versus advertising income and modify some of the parts that aren’t making it.” More here.
