Title: Who owns The Vindicator?
Post by: Penguin388 on October 19, 2017, 10:06:00 PM
Do the owners let the executives run The Vindicator without close supervision?  I read that the Maag family owns it.  Who in the Maag family owns a controlling interest if any?  I'm curious if they are fair and keep a close watch over what is published how stories are reported.

The family still owns the Vindicator. Mrs. Jagnew was the widdow of William Brown, the Nephew of William F. Maag, Jr. the son of William F. Maag Sr. Mark Brown is the Son of  Mrs. Jagnew and is the adopted son of William Brown. When Mrs. Jagnew passes, Mark Brown will become the owner of both the Vindicator and WFMJ.
