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.]
