The president of Lighthouse Media Group calls it a sad day. Long-time editor, Vernon Oickle, is no longer with the Lunenburg County Progress Bulletin. Oickle spent 20 years with the company, writing weekly editorials and helping the local newspaper win several regional and national awards. Lynn Hennigar says it was a difficult decision.Oickle was editor when the Bridgewater Bulletin merged with the Lunenburg Progress Enterprise in 2011. Hennigar thanked him for his time with the company.
Hennigar says the newspaper is moving away from its traditional approach to better meet new needs in the industry.
