| Summary: | This book represents what is happening in small communities across the United States as their newspapers struggle to survive. It is a celebration, not just of journalism, but the inspirational people and events that happen in small towns everywhere. Most importantly, it asks the question: who will be the community watchdog of the future? This book memorializes the American newspaper through the story of The Post-Star of Glens Falls, New York. The author, a devoted veteran of the The Post-Star, compiles a series of vignettes that depict the newspaper's coverage of various stories over the years. It is a never-before-seen glimpse behind the newsroom curtain through the narrative non-fiction stories that chronicle the investigative journalism done in small towns and the effect it all has on the journalists and readers defined by their hometown newspaper. |
