Parent company of South Dakota newspapers abruptly shutters Brookings, Huron, Redfield, Flandreau outlets among victims of News Media Corp. closures

Devastating.

To those that have:
- dedicated themselves to serving their communities.
- lost a key pillar in their community.

Devastating. But hopefully not a deathblow.

Hopefully, enough people:
- ask, "What now?"
- do what needs to be done.
- support what comes next.

Hopefully there's hope.

I'm willing to test the waters here, but feeling a little like the John Travolta meme...
