A New Paper Major Focus On Cape May But Comprehensive County News Too There's a new newspaper in Cape May! Beginning today, April 3. 1965, the publishers of the Cape May County Herald are proud to present Cape May readers with: the Cape May Herald-Dispatch! The Herald-Dispatch will circulate exclusively within the City of Cape May, and will have that town's affairs as a major focus. It will be published Wednesdays, and there will be no charge for the newspaper ACCORDING TO Herald-Dispatch and County Herald General Manager Bonnie Reina, the new paper will strive to offer the finest in local news coverage, but it will at the same time continue to provide Cape May readers with the broader news of Cape May County that they have become accustomed to in the County Herald "Cape May offers a blend of both the old and the new," she said. "The HeraldDispatch will offer both extensive local coverage and comprehensive county news, within a single publication " The Herald-Dispatch will circulate in Cape May instead of the Cape May County Herald But Cape May readers still will get all of the Herald's county news in the Herald Dispatch, in addition to local Cape May coverage The Herald-Dispatch will be available in all the many Cape Maylocations where the Herald has heretofore been delivered. LOCAL NEWS will include coverage of city hall and various local governmental bodies, reports on Cape May people, organizations, and events; and Cape May columns and features. Local comment will be welcomed through letters to the editor For the purpose of providing this coverage. 15-year Philadelphia Bulletin veteran reporter Jack Smyth has joined the Herald editorial staff He will have Cape May as his primary beat. County Herald Editor Joseph Zelnik —himself a veteran Bullentin newsman— will also edit the Herald Dispatch Why a Cape May Herald-Dispatch, and why now'' "Cape May is unique in many ways, not least in that it has moved confidently and deliberately into the late 20th century." according to John Dunwoody, Herald Special Promotions Director. Cape May guest house owner, and a primary mover in Herald-Dispatch planning. THROUGH AN extended internal debate of some two decades, the city has carefullyassessed its rich, 19th century Victorian heritage", he said. And it has developed a vision: of how to preserve what is best from that heritage, and how to use that ( Page 57 Please ) INSIDE See The COUNTY CALENDAR for an up-to-date listing of what's happening in Cape May
