The CIA death story in the PD vs. a sidebar in the ABJ is a telling sign about weekend staffing in Akron.
When will the Beacon share the info about Bill Powell, the first African-American to conceptualize, build, own and operate a golf course, passing away on New Years Eve?
National radio shows carried that info Thursday night. The Rep covered it. The PD ran a short AP story. So far, nothing in the Beacon or on Ohio.com about an important local fixture in the battle against racisim.
