Section 21: Community News Subject: "The Forum" Closing Msg# 1231863

| The decline of print and digital news about Ocean Pines is a sad sign of the times. Soon we will all retreat into our cocoons and echo chambers comfortable with the knowledge that we’re right and everyone else is wrong. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Marty Clarke, the bearer of bad news, told me of the Forum's closing and the last edition of the Progress now on the streets all in one five minute call. This is a double blow to the community that many of us relied upon for the inside story (or at least the well reasoned opinions of the two editors/moderators). These days there seems to be a strong argument for a more forceful, balanced press and less quantity of it. I find it ironic that just a couple of days ago, I made the argument on this forum that we should all pay little attention to the FaceBook type media postings that deal in grudges and paybacks only to find that the two sane alternatives are ceasing publication. O tempora, O mores. |
