Newspapers and books

By Patrick Fisher, Staff Writer

Two recent, and vastly different events I covered showed the importance of newspapers.

One was a public hearing at the New Prague Planning and Zoning Commission and the other was Ladies Night Out. During both a person was asked how they found out about the events, they replied they read about it in the newspaper. Considering this is National Newspaper Week, it's good to know that people are still getting information from their local papers.

In the nearly 14 years I've been involved in the business, I've seen quite a few changes.
