RIP Greenpoint Courier

The Greenpoint Courier has its last edition on the newsstands this weekend. As the Courier-Life papers is owned by Murdoch's News Corp, when the Brooklyn Paper was bought by News Corp as well, it was a sad but unsurprising chapter in local media consolidation.

An unfortunate casualty of the acquisition was the Greenpoint Courier and the excellent coverage that reporter Aaron Short brought to important North Brooklyn issues, such as the Meeker Avenue Plume. Keep your eye out for Aaron's return to the local news scene, and keep tabs on his whereabouts and take on the issues at the burgeoning blog Aaron Short Story.

In the meantime, keep checking your other local papers: the Greenline, Greenpoint Gazette, Greenpoint Star and the Brooklyn Paper.
