Kansas journalism has lost two long-time icons in the industry within days of each other.
Former long-time Herington Times editor and publisher Larry Byers died Friday (Jan. 28, 2022) and former Lawrence Journal-World general manager Ralph Gage died Sunday morning (Jan. 30, 2022).
Byers, 78, was a past president of the Kansas Press Association and was a leader in non-daily journalism in Kansas for 40 years.
