From R. Jack Fishman

Community journalism is greatly important to communities across our nation; it plays a key role in informing our citizens of the news and the many activities in their communities. It is the major media for our merchants and businesses communicating their values and services to our citizens in small to medium communities. It is critically important in the digital age to have qualified reporters and editors reporting and analyzing community activities.

It is equally important that community newspapers play a vital role in the development of their town’s infrastructure and education. In a free enterprise system, newspapers play a vital role and one that is important for the preservation of our freedoms, our communities and our cities.
