"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
"In addition to the Journal-World, the sale includes The World Company’s other media assets: weekly newspapers in Shawnee and Tonganoxie; more than a dozen websites including KUsports.com, LJWorld.com and Lawrence.com; and Sunflower Publishing, the company’s niche publications division."

The buyer is Ogden Newspapers, Inc. is a family-owned, diversified media company based in Wheeling, W.Va.
The Simons have sold Sunflower Cable, and now the rest of their media assets. Just keeping their real estate.
Not happy campers in our household this morning. Cannot see how this is going to be better for Lawrence and KU. Hope we are wrong.
