Doing it Right!
Local newspaper
recognized with distinguished honor!
DARKE COUNTY -The Early Bird newspaper, locally owned and operated with
distribution to 28,000 homes in Darke County, OH, was recently
recognized as "One of Ten Newspapers that do it Right'' by Editor &
Publisher (E & P), a national newspaper and magazine trade
industry publication. E & P makes its selection from
newspapers across the country from all circulation sizes; from large
metropolitan papers to small daily and weeklies. The Early Bird
is one of the few free weekly newspapers ever selected to receive this
distinguished recognition. It was selected because of its
philosophy of
• Investing back into the product;
• Investing back into the communities it serves;
• Investing back into tbe employees.
The paper was purchased by Fred and Keith Foutz, Darke County,
Ohio natives in June of2012. Since that time, they have bucked
the newspaper industry trend as they have chosen to add content and
pages, provide additional economical color availability and add
staffing while surrounding themselves with a team of professionals who
take pride in where they work and the product they all help to produce
each week. As stated in the article, revenues at The Early Bird
and hluebagmedia.com continue to increase as the newspaper continues to
focus on hyper local community news. The two brothers state "the
best is yet to come" as they are committed to future growth and
expansion in both the print and digital platforms.
