It is interesting to note the origins of the Green Bay News- Chronicle:
Started as The Daily News on Nov. 13, 1972, the newspaper was created as a strike tactic by a group of employees of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. In 1976, Frank Wood, majority owner of Brown County Publishing Co., took over leadership of the paper and changed its name to the News-Chronicle. Over the course of the next several years, Wood bought majority ownership of the paper and folded it into Brown County Publishing Co. as a subsidiary.One could say that, in many ways, the newspaper started in the same spirit of the conservative college newspapers of the late 1980s and 1990s, AM talk radio, and the weblogs of today. It started as an alternative to the dominant media and gave a different view. In Green Bay, that alternative point of view will now have to be read without ink and paper, and the people that made the Green Bay News-Chronicle.
