Facebook forum on Knights documentary

Paul Jacoway, who with University of Akron communications Prof. Kathleen Endres produced and wrote a documentary about brothers John and Jim Knight, said there's a Facebook page for a forum on the documentary and the Knight Newspapers giants. But you need a Facebook account to have access to it, I found. If you already are a Facebook user, go to

http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=journalism&init=quick#/group.php?gid=173880596128&ref=search&sid=745229320.2929283935..1

and join the discussion.

“Final Edition: Journalism According to Jack and Jim Knight,” will premiere at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, in the Akron-Summit County Public Library auditorium on 60 S. High Street in Akron.

Click on the headline for University of Akron press release on the documentary.

On that same day at 3 p.m. the retired printers' lawsuit against the BJ over reductions in health care coverage will be heard in Ohio Northern District Court in Akron before Judge David Dowd Jr. It's open to anyone who wants to find out how they may get their health care coverage restored to its status before Black Press bought the BJ. I plan to be there.

David Dudley Dowd Jr. was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1982. The federal court is in the John F. Seiberling Federal Building and United States Courthouse at
Two South Main Street, just off the Main-Market intersection.
