BRACK: Internet moguls may not realize weekly newspapers exist

By Elliott Brack  |  Today’s media market is far different from the way it was just a few years ago. There are fewer newspapers, which in our way of thinking is a blow for democracy. When any community loses a way for people to communicate with one another, our nation is in trouble.

BRACK: Twitter shows the way, while Facebook offers no solutions

By Elliott Brack   | Hurrah for Twitter! This high-tech company seems to have its head screwed on right for a change, as it announced a coming ban on all political advertisements on its site. It is doing this while still allowing political comment from its subscribers to continue, as long as it is not paid content.
