Loss of Fitchburg Star disappointing

The Capital Times

Dear Editor: We were shocked and disappointed when we learned that the Fitchburg Star will no longer be.

For the last several years, we have learned to look forward to the excellent, in-depth articles that Kurt Gutknecht has put into each issue. We can honestly say that he has provided in-depth coverage of goings-on in Fitchburg, as well as occasional coverage of other things occurring elsewhere in Wisconsin or the U.S. (or the world). The trends in eliminating newspapers in the U.S. do not bode well for an educated and illuminated citizenry.

We urge Kurt to continue his coverage of events in and around Fitchburg, and if he wants to start up an online newspaper, we will be the first to subscribe. Few things worth anything are free and the information Kurt provides is certainly worth our financial support. Go, Kurt!
