David Rice has revealed much more about how the local press seeks to influence rather than simply report on local news stories such as the Christian County Library's Board of Trustees changes and the reasons why.
Perhaps both nationally and locally, the press is hitting the bottom of the barrel. How to recover and reform an institution that has sunk so low is a hard question. It would take reporters and editors and publishers with moral fortitude and respect for traditional journalistic principles to turn the ship around and get it to shore.
If they are not willing or able to do it, others will take their place. That is the way of things.
In the meantime, Rice's article is riveting.
