THE WHALE

THE WHALE

The Whale, a community newspaper, old fashion, an important part of the community,

with reporters and photographer covering events that are important to our community.

The paper is part of Independent Newspapers that owns newspapers in Maryland,

Delaware, Florida and Arizona.

The Whale reports news, sports, event and advertising of saltwater Sussex County, from

Milton to Fenwick Island, west to Georgetown, twice a week. The Whale informs us of

our best buys from area merchants.

Today's staff, seven reporters and a photographer, grew from three reporters, when the paper

had a circulation of 3000 , which now is 10,000. The Whale once was an 18 page newspaper,

now grown to 60 pages twice a week. .

Dennis Forney is publisher, Trish Hogenmiller, editor, are both well known for civic

activities. The Whale is a sounding board on local issues. Editorials in the Whale aim to

stimulate interest rather than dictate. The Whale is not all serious, Charlie Fleetwoods

favorites have a humorous side. “ Barefooten” is folksy and “Fat Like Me”, well , take

your choice. There is room for political views, senior citizens news and special features.

The Whale office is located in Midway Shopping Center>
