Another Pawtucket source needed
The rumor of a Times building sale occurred back in the early 1990's; the JRC people were to merge the Times and the Call and move the newspapers into Cumberland, Rhode Island or Seekonk, Mass. This would be unfortunate for the Blackstone Valley in terms of news coverage. However, Pawtucket residents still like their Times. Perhaps an investor or two could start up a new publication in Pawtucket. The Times has failed miserably in local coverage in the past few years. Many items of news have been ignored: veterans news, city hall news, neighborhood news, and press releases from churches and civic organizations. Church advertising now has to be paid. The Valley Breeze in Cumberland and Lincoln seemed to work out a very good newspaper.
