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:
“Jesus would recommend you to pass the first day of the week rather otherwise than you pass it now, and to seek some other mode of bettering the morals of the community than by constraining each other to look grave on a Sunday, and to consider yourselves more virtuous in proportion to the idleness in which you pass one day in seven.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“When the newspapers have got nothing else to talk about, they cut loose on the young. The young are always news. If they are up to something, that’s news. If they aren’t, that’s news too.”
—Kenneth Rexroth (1905–1982)
