LINDALE \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Lindale\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only newspaper, the Lindale News and Times, is coming back to the town in print and online with a new name, the Lindale News. According to our news partner KETK, the good news about the Lindale News comes after the former owner and publisher, Jim Bardwell, announced that the paper was closing down after 124 years but now its being saved thanks to a nonprofit from Irving.<\/p>\n
Bardwell has reportedly donated the intellectual property rights to the paper to the Irving based nonprofit news organization, Rambler Texas Media. Rambler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s publisher John Starkey and the Lindale Chamber of Commerce met on Thursday and announced that Rambler will be continuing the Lindale Times\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 124 years of history.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153THE LINDALE NEWS LIVES ON! Today John Starkey stopped by our office with hot off the press newspapers. We are excited that Rambler Texas Media has come to town to help us continue to promote events, organizations, and our community.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n Lindale Chamber of Commerce<\/p>\n
Rambler is a community-owned nonprofit that was started to help keep local newspapers across Texas online and in print. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re running the Ozona Stockman down south of San Angelo in Crockett County, the Lindale News, their publication in Irving and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re planning to acquire three more newspapers from across the state in the coming months.<\/p>\n
KETK spoke with Starkey about Birdwell\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s donation of the paper to Rambler. According to Starkey, they won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t operate the paper out the same office space because they haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been donated any physical property from the paper so they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be working with Bound Books for office space in downtown Lindale.<\/p>\n
Bardwell had originally announced that the paper would permanently close due to not being able to turn a profit for five years straight.<\/p>\n
Starkey said the first print edition of the Lindale News will be put out on Friday and their updated website will go live on Friday or Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
