The Ithaca Community News is a semi-monthly email newsletter and web site founded by former local resident and activist Paul Glover. He had over 7,900 subscribers, not including website readers, which represented roughly a quarter of the population of Ithaca, NY. Many subscribers were from other parts of the country and world. In November 2005, Elizabeth Bauchner took over the publication. Soon after she changed her name back to Elizabeth Field.
Ithaca Community News covered local political issues, as well as race, class, social justice, gender, anti-war activism and environmental sustainability. Elizabeth stopped publishing in February 2007 due to financial strains. The web site and email newsletters are archived at the link below.
Famous quotes containing the words community and/or news:
“The most perfect political community must be amongst those who are in the middle rank, and those states are best instituted wherein these are a larger and more respectable part, if possible, than both the other; or, if that cannot be, at least than either of them separate, so that being thrown into the balance it may prevent either scale from preponderating.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“I wouldn’t interfere with the actual news itself, but TV is show biz, Max, and even the news has to have a little showmanship.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
