Schoharie County gets new newspaper

Mar 04, 2015 12:03 am
Julia Reischel in The Watershed Post reports that Tim Knight, the 21-year-old owner of the online Schoharie News will beging a weekly tabloid edition beginning in May. Knight had previously sold the online publication to Robert Panico, but bought it back last month. "There is a dearth of real reporting in this county, and change is needed in the media landscape," Knight said. "While digital has its advantages, it's limited in what you can do professionally." Currently, two print publications cover Schoharie County: the Stamford-based weekly Mountain Eagle, owned by Columbia-Greene Media (who owns The Daily Mail and Register-Star), and the Cobleskill-based Times Journal. Knight freelanced for The Mountain Eagle. He says "I am hopeful that they are receptive to having competition in the Schoharie Valley for the first time since the 1980s."
