1/2 I hate to leave this account hanging, especially since I built it up for more than a year, but I don't see a reason to keep it going if the KP has closed.

I'm willing to write freelance articles for whoever is interested, just reach out to me, @JohnRenfrow for inquiries.

@SportsKP 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!!

[Aidan Oliver @Aidan_Oliver13]

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.

[Taylor Titans @Taylor_Titans]

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!

[John Renfrow @JohnRenfrow]

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

[Kokomo Perspective Sports @SportsKP]

@IUKAthletics Thank you very much.

[Kokomo Perspective Sports @SportsKP]

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.

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!
