Ohio City Near West Development Corporation [1] is launching a new on line publication Ohio City Argus via the Observer news service (with print installments). This is a throw-back to a publication that served the City of Ohio City (yes, before it joined Cleveland after a little war). The previous Ohio City publication is described as Notes: Published on Thursday. "Whiggish in its tendencies but not very partisan." [2]
Argus has a romantic ring to it and it no doubt harks back to the Greek classic tale of the Argonauts. ( From wikipedia: Argus in the tale of the Argonauts [3] is a shipwright, the builder of the ship the Argo [4], which is named after him. The vessel was used by Jason [5] in his quest for the Golden Fleece [6], Jason and his compatriots called themselves Argonauts, after the ship).
How is this latest publication funded (see also Old Brooklyn News)? [7] Is it meant to counter the REAL recent coverage provided by Plain Press? [8]
Where are the names of the folks behind this latest public folly?*
(*folly--my opinion)
