Senate Resolution No. 2402

BY: Senator RITCHIE

        COMMEMORATING   the   200th   Anniversary  of  The
        Palladium-Times of Oswego, New York

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to pay tribute  to
those  illustrious  journalistic  entities  which  have  diligently  and
consistently, year after year, recorded the history of their communities
and brought local news and news of the larger world  to  their  readers;
and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the 200th Anniversary of The Palladium-Times of Oswego, New
York; and

  WHEREAS, The Palladium-Times began as a weekly publication in  1819,
serving  as  the region's only newspaper until 1845, when the Commercial
Daily Advertiser was first established; and

  WHEREAS,  After  decades  of  competing  against  one  another   and
supporting  opposing  political  parties,  the  two newspapers merged on
April 14, 1925, to become one  daily  publication  with  an  independent
political voice; and

  WHEREAS,  In 2008, Gatehouse Media, which owned The Palladium-Times,
sold the paper to the Sample News  Group,  a  privately  held  operation
which specializes in small, community daily and weekly newspapers; and

  WHEREAS,    Over    its    distinguished   200-year   history,   The
Palladium-Times has demonstrated continuous service to the residents and
communities which it serves; and

  WHEREAS, The success of The Palladium-Times is in direct correlation
to the efforts of its staff, whose involvement is, and always has  been,
characterized  by an impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm, and
an uncompromising standard of excellence in all endeavors on  behalf  of
the newspaper and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  After  two  centuries,  The  Palladium-Times continues its
legacy  of  longevity,  resilience,  dedication  and  passion  for   its
community  and truly merits the tribute of this Legislative Body and the
entire State of New York; and

  WHEREAS, It is  with  great  pleasure  that  this  Legislative  Body
acknowledges  The  Palladium-Times' distinguished journalist history and
its  outstanding  record  of  growth  and  achievement,  recognizes  its
contributions  to the local and State economies, and extends its highest
commendation to the newspaper and its employees, fully  confident  that,
in its future, it will enjoy the same success which has so characterized
its past; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 200th Anniversary of The Palladium-Times of Oswego,  New
York; and be it further


  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Palladium-Times, Oswego, New York.
