BRACK: Our nation is at peril from this surprising development 

By Elliott Brack  |  Some of your friends may be intent on telling you that our United States government is in danger of failing.  They list being too liberal, or being too conservative, and other far-out theories. Take your pick.

BRACK: Now the newspaper, too, resorting to blood-and-guts journalism

By Elliott Brack  |  A few years back, we stopped looking at local TV news, except primarily to see if it was going to rain the next day.  (Though the weathermen sometimes get it wrong on the rain, they can pinpoint storms better than ever, and they help keep us safe.) The reason we stopped looking at the nightly local news was that local TV news has deteriorated to mainly blood and guts, shootings, and ambulance chasing. Why bother with such bloodlettings? Is such real, solid reporting?

FOCUS: Some reasons that newspapers may be declining

By Joe Briggs  |  While I grieve with Raleigh Perry on the demise of U.S. newspapers, I disagree with his analysis. He states that people who once stayed informed through daily newspapers have shifted to the convenience of the internet. But he then laments the absence of any substance in the nightly broadcasts. So have the consumers lost interest in the news, or have the news providers lost interest in the consumers?

FOCUS: Our democracy may be in trouble with today’s poorer newspapers

By Raleigh Perry |  Coming from a family in Chattanooga with a lot of newspaper people in it and having a newspaper on my breakfast and dinner tables, I have an appreciation of the printed media.  There were two dailies.  The Times in the morning and the Free Press in the afternoon. One leaned left, the other right.

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.
