It’s an exciting time to be a journalist in small-town America. Newly elected county officials have started their terms, and some of them are trying to make some big changes to deliver on their campaign promises. And perhaps more than ever, the decisions being made in Washington are having an impact right here.
When people try to address big issues, their solutions tend to create new problems. Sometimes they’re unintended side effects, and other times they reveal officials’ real priorities.
Journalists get to connect the dots and see who will be positively and negatively affected. We get to meet people, learn new things, and get many different perspectives. It’s mentally stimulating and rewarding work.
