Get ready for more people losing jobs and less local coverage. This is the normal course of action for newspapers. Sell out to a bigger organization. The bigger organization cuts workers to make it more profitable. Much of the work will be done electronically from a central location. They will make up the loss of local reporting with "canned" national news. Reporters and photographers will be cut to save money. ...On top of this, the Eagle will be a Warren Buffett newspaper. This means that it will not be just liberal.. but "progressive". It will be another rubber stamp, another Obama can do no wrong newspaper.

Dothan Eagle is ridiculous. Just recently, my uncle passed away. His family by no means are into money and are just regular people that live paycheck to paycheck.Dothan Eagle did not have one ounce of compassion. They wanted to charge them over $400 to run his obituary.Thankfully here at Rickey Stokes News, they don't charge a single penny and his obit was allowed to be published.I wouldnt pay a plug nickle for a copy of the Dothan Eagle. In my opinion as a used to be community ran business, it is worthless.
I'm very disappointed b/c I read the Dothan Eagle online once or twice a week and I went to go read it yesterday and when I clicked on an article, a pop up came on my screen that said I needed to create an account & it's going to cost money now to view it online! :(
