A Mad River media mega-monopoly has formed. Via
Facebook, the
Arcata Eye announced it will join forces with Northern Humboldt's other hyper-local weekly newspaper the
McKinleyville Press starting Oct. 2.
And the
Mad River Union was born.
Arcata Eye publisher/editor/reporter Kevin Hoover announced in 2011 that the paper would
cease publication in February, 2014, leading to a
couple of years of
rumors about who, if anyone, would fill the void.
Well, it seems Hoover and Jack Durham, who publishes the
McKinleyville Press, struck an accord. The veteran newsmen worked together on the
Arcata Union, the
Eye's
predecessor. (
Journal Publisher Judy Hodgson and many other current and former Journalistas worked and wrote for the
Union, as well.)

Mad River Union here.
