Helping 141-Year Old Newspaper Focus Content on Area’s Heritage

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Mike

This morning Chesapeake Publishing unveiled its newest publication, “Weekend Whig.”  This feature-rich section is loaded with local stories about the people and history of the county.  As they focus these pages on local copy, the publisher noted that they’re tapping into the interest in Cecil County’s roots and the wealth of information and photographs about the past.  I was pleased to have a chance to work with the paper’s editors as they developed the prototype.  For the roll-out, the publisher held a ribbon cutting and reception at the Elkton office today.  With the paper starting a new chapter in its 141-year history, it was great to be able to attended the reception and hear about more plans for the section as I work to help the Whig with coverage related to the area’s heritage.
