Editorial: Celebrate the value of local journalism

This week, Oct. 5 to 11, marked the 85th celebration of National Newspaper Week. This is a week set aside to celebrate the folks – editors, reporters, sales teams, graphic artists, designers, managers, press operators, and delivery people – who contribute every day to making sure our communities have access to high-quality, truthful journalism.

For 2025, the theme – some might say rallying cry — is “Embracing local journalism for a better future.”
