The LA Times just fired 115 journalists. The San Luis Obispo Tribune is only going to publish a print edition two days a week.
People are no longer interested in one sided stories. They want all of the facts, not just the convenient ones for a radical point of view. Not a single paper in the State has called for Newsom to denounce anti-Semitism on our campuses and for him to fire the bigots. The media has been complicit in the radicalizations, crime and hate permeating our State.
“What should have been a celebration of 150 years for The Dixon Tribune newspaper, there was bad news. The newspaper that was first opened in 1874 by Fred Dunnicliff, Sr., published its last edition Wednesday, January 31. The business has been owned by Gibson Radio and Publishing for about 40 years.
Although there was no news article about it, Dixon Tribune columnist Bill Paul wrote, “Now, the Tribune is closing down and the issue you’re holding could well become a collector’s item…So, goodbye Trib, you’ve had a long and valuable run.”
Little by little newspapers are being closed—most are being cut back to a mere shadow of what they once were. Maybe the lack of journalism is the real cause?
Dixon Tribune Closes

DIXON, CA (MPG) – What should have been a celebration of 150 years for The Dixon Tribune newspaper, there was bad news. The newspaper that was first opened in 1874 by Fred Dunnicliff, Sr., published its last edition Wednesday, January 31. The business has been owned by Gibson Radio and Publishing for about 40 years.
Although there was no news article about it, Dixon Tribune columnist Bill Paul wrote, “Now, the Tribune is closing down and the issue you’re holding could well become a collector’s item…So, goodbye Trib, you’ve had a long and valuable run.”
He included a bit about its history and a tribute to Advertising Manager Sarah Villec, age 86, and Editor Jarrod Kohls.
Villec had started with the company for the Rio Vista newspaper and had worked for a few of Gibson’s other publications until Dixon’s Ad Manager David DeLeon left after 15 years for the Davis Enterprise in 2002. Villec was then moved to the Dixon office and has stayed since. She has been with the company for more than 30 years now.
“I was planning to retire, just not this way,” she said from her home.
Villec would not comment on closing details. Some residents seemed surprised while others were expecting it as the paper was no longer being sold in its traditional locations, timely billings were not happening, and advertisements were disappearing from the pages.
“I’ll always treasure my time at the Dixon Tribune,” said former Editor Brianna Boyd. “It was an incredible starting off point in my professional life. It gave me so much experience and I met incredible people in the community.” She was the Editor from 2005 to 2014.
“Reporting and writing on the city and the schools for ten years was so rewarding and I loved it. I’m sad to see it close,” Boyd added. “Sarah put her heart and soul in the paper and took pride in being everyone’s second mom.”
You are absolutely correct that people are tired of one-sided liberal views that often border on insane. The Los Angeles Times lost whatever remaining credibility they had when the newspaper endorsed failing District Attorney George Gascon for re-election. The Soros-backed Gascon is pro-criminal, and his actions are directly responsible for the rampant crime throughout the city.
