Bingham wrote of newspaper demise, daughter says


Emily Bingham, daughter of Barry Bingham Jr. who ran the Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky.,from 1971 to 1986 and great-grandaughter of the man who bought the newspaper during World War I, wrote an article March 28 for Newsweek with the catch line:

My father, a third-generation newspaper publisher, warned of the industry's demise. None of us listened.

Click on the headline to read her article.

Bingham is a historian in Louisville. Her next book is a jazz-age story about art, money, sexuality and her great-aunt Henrietta Worth Bingham.

[Thanks to Marv Katz who found the article for us.]
