End of the line, the sequel

Since I broke the news last month in my regular email to our writers and in the Feb. 6 issue about the Observer’s impending demise, I’ve been asked the same question nearly every day, by email and phone, in person at meetings and while out shopping, and even from pop-ins at my part-time job in the Bay Village Senior Center. 

Over and over I’ve heard with genuine concern: “Can you save it?”  

Let me tell you now what I’ve been telling them: We are sure going to try!

My initial heartbreak has turned to hopefulness after hearing from so many readers that care so much about the paper. 

We will take a break from publishing after this issue and use that time to solicit funding from community organizations and businesses, in hopes that the Observer can get back on track – better and stronger than ever – a little farther down the line. 

If you have any contacts that you think might be willing and able to help, please encourage them to do so! They can email me at tara@wbvobserver.com for more information.
