Show Notes

As you may know, a small weekly newspaper in Kansas was raided last week by their local police department. You may be thinking, “I live in Kentucky. Why should I care about this?”

To answer that question, I interview Al Cross, long-time journalist in the state, and the director emeritus of the Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues. Al goes into not only why we should care about what happened in Kansas, but why we should all care deeply about our own local journalism.
