Hundreds of small-town newspapers across the United States have been forced to close down. But, The Berkshire Eagle has been revived. The western Massachusetts daily newspaper has added employees to its investigative team. It has new 12-pages of lifestyle information. It reports on the area’s new eating places. And its advisory board includes famous musician Yo-Yo Ma and prize-winning writer Elizabeth Kolbert. Three years ago, four investors with a lot of money and ties to the area saw an opportunity. They bought The Berkshire Eagle and three newspapers in nearby Vermont from Digital Media First, a large media company. It had become known for destroying small newspapers by cutting costs and dismissing reporters. The investors hired 50 new reporters for the four newspapers. And readers are returning. The long-term success of the newspapers is not guaranteed. But the new owners and employees are working hard to bring high-quality local journalism to their community.
