Opinion : Letter to the Editor

Dear Dean and company: Congrats on the new venture!! How sad to lose another Vinton paper to outsiders. Just when the Eagle had really turned the corner and was truly a locally-owned and staffed paper dealing with only local news, the buyout was done. As someone who had previously worked for the Eagle's new owners' other local acquisition, I know what it is like to work for someone who has no idea what your paper is all about or your customers' needs and wants and only cares about the bottom line. Well and good, but employees and customers count, too. Good luck on this new venture and I am very excited about having a daily update on what's happening in the Vinton area. Thanks for stepping up to the plate!
