Medford Transcript in Limbo?


 ANYONE NOTICE that Medford and Stoneham names being dropped for just a generic "WickedLocal" on the website?

A smaller MEDFORD TRANSCRIPT is on the page, but not as dominant and splashy as it once was.

 $3.00 for 3 months subscription when they charge $2.00 an issue?

 I couldn't find a staff listing or editor.

 You'll see "Medford" when I link it to this site on Facebook (Medford Info readers can see this on Real Medford Mass Politics, Facebook,) but the Medford logo is missing. 

 I checked Stoneham and the same thing. 

 Now this is odd as Gannett took over from Gatehouse https://www.gannett.com/ in the purchase or merger or whatever it was. The Patch is giving more information lately, meager as it is.  

There is a huge void for Medford. Can Medford News Weekly step it and fill it?

I did a GOOGLE on Editor at Transcript and find - 1)the old logo shows up, 2) Nell Coakley is still involved, but not posted as editor: https://medford.wickedlocal.com/contact
