Excellent writing. It's good to see there are still media critics in our midst. I realize that, like streetcars and passenger locomotives, there is a tendency to romanticize small-town newspapers and that's probably why this film made it through the usual fact-checking filters without any mention of the competition. As a boy, I visited Storm Lake with my folks who were attending a Presbyterian conference at Buena Vista University. All I remember from 50 years ago are fields of corn. By the by, it's funny to compare Times editor Art Cullen with Mark Twain but it certainly enhances the romance and comes with the territory.
Many Buena County residents are mourning the loss of Storm Lake's best newspaper, the Storm Lake Pilot Tribune. That paper has always been the most accurate, professional, and unbiased paper in the area, and the departure of long time editor, Dana Larsen, is a huge loss to our community.
