Breaking news: I've just been told the Kokomo Perspective is closing. It's been an honor and privilege to tell your stories for the past year and a half. Kokomo is such a rich sports town that it was always easy to find a gem of a story here. Thank you for reading. John Renfrow

Thank you for being an open- minded resource for the community! Sad news

Unreal. Thanks to Kokomo for my time becoming a real journalist. Another local paper goes under, and this one hits close to home.

So sad to hear! It was always great to read about sporting events around town in the Kokomo Perspective. Thank you for all that you have done for HCA and all local sports!!

John: Thanks for supporting #WildkatNation and all of our Howard County student-athletes. Kokomo Athletics Principal Blessing

Sure hate to see this happen! The perspective has always done a great job with the news but from my end sports. Appreciate you allowing me to take pictures for the paper at various times. We have enjoyed reading the local coverage! Please know you will be missed!

I am incredibly sorry to hear this. You have done an outstanding job of reporting on our school and athletic program fairly and with integrity! The Taylor community thanks you for everything! Best of luck, John!

Sad to see it go, thanks a bunch for taking time to write about the youth of Kokomo. It didn't go unnoticed. You were very much appreciated.

Kokomo Perspective Sports John thank you for all your support. Your writing and coverage has been spot on. Thank you for always being supportive! We will miss working with you and KP!!
