| Zusammenfassung: | Adispute between Publisher Joseph E. McNaughton and his daughter, Assistant Publisher Jo Ann McNaughton-Kade, forced the sale of the Illinois paper, the Effingham Daily News, to Park Communications Inc. McNaughton, who owned 43% of the paper, relinquished control to his daughter, who owned 20.5%, in 1985. However, community outrage over sensationalistic coverage led McNaughton to fire McNaughton-Kade on Aug 29, 1992. Stockholders and an unflattering story in the Chicago Tribune led to McNaughton-Kade's reinstatement, but she was later fired again. When the family dispute could not be resolved, the paper was sold. |
