An Honor Well Deserved

This morning's Montgomery Advertiser has a column by Alvin Benn about two people who could be "Exhibit A" in favor of the survival of newspapers. Goodloe and Jean Sutton run the small-town newspaper, The Democrat-Reporter in Linden. But their achievements are strictly big-city daily. The Suttons were named Community Journalists of the year by the Auburn University Journalism Advisory Council on Friday. The new-media crowd can beat down on the MSM all they want. Till they're willing to do the hard work needed for Sutton style journalism, they'll be second-string. Congratulations Goodloe and (posthumously) Jean!
