Field Club of Omaha, 3615 Woolworth Street, Omaha, Nebraska
Greetings Everyone,
Finally we have nice weather as we welcome in Spring! Unfortunately this brings its own trials as we consider all those in our area affected by the flooding. I know several Rotary clubs in the affected areas are working on ways to help. If you are interested in helping in these efforts we will work to get you some contact information.
Todd Sears the new President and Publisher for the Omaha World Herald gave us some great insights on the current situation and future of newspaper business both here and across the nation. Todd comes back to Nebraska from Springfield Ill with a 31 year history in the newspaper business and is glad to be back near his roots. He pointed not just to the digital format challenging the traditional printed delivery of the paper, but also to the shake up in the retail world and its effect on advertising as a big challenge ahead. Much work is being done to broaden the base of business at the World Herald and find additional revenue opportunities, but he feels the core is still in solid content and superior news gathering. We are glad to have Todd in Omaha and hope to have him as a member of our club soon.
Thank you to everyone that is stepping up and getting engaged both in club service, and in service to our community as well. Let's get out there and make a difference in our world.
Have a Great week.
Brad
