Idle Ramblings

The state of small town newspapers today

I read with interest recently about the endorsement of John Kerry by the Iconoclast, the Crawford, Texas newspaper in the adopted home town of Dubya. Political leanings aside, I knew when I read the editorial exactly what the response would be. It would be nasty, it would be personal and it would be unfortunate for the small town newspaper every where.



The publishers of the Iconoclast responded to the criticism, economic retaliations and outright threats of violence in an excellent editorial here. Again, politics aside, this is an excellent editorial to a reaction that, as a former small town journalism, I am very familiar with.
