UNSETTLED IN FORM, GOVERNED IN PRACTICE · BOTH READINGS PRINT
The question: the New Carlisle News stands in Chronicling America-derived listings as "2002 to current," and in the Library of Congress's own title record as closed in 2015, its final issue volume 13, issue 20, of January 9, 2015. The build's practice — stated in the sibling leg and repeated here — is that the title record governs: a derived listing's "current" is a field nobody updated, where the title record's closing entry is an act of cataloguing. But both readings print, because the difference between a paper that closed in 2015 and a paper a directory believes alive is itself a fact about the town's record in 2026 — the same directory lag that leaves the Gazette's ends in question marks. The settler for any residual doubt: the paper's own last issues, at the seats named in the sibling leg's register.
Principal sources: the directory extracts and the Library of Congress title record as carried in the sibling newspapers leg (NC-2), read at extract strength.
