  • National Newspaper Week

    Eric Meyer, Editor and publisher Marion County Record|Oct 5, 2023

    "Newspapers are dead," a solemn but dubious audience of students heard. "In 10 years, they'll be gone altogether." We've all heard the grim assessment. But it didn't come this year, when corporate greed downsized far too many newsrooms. It didn't come 15 years ago, when social media began to cocoon us into echo chambers that let us hear only what we believe. It didn't come 30 years ago, at the dawn of the Internet letting us browse multiple sources of information. It didn't come 45 years ago,...

  • 'Environmental justice' rules may hurt Wyoming's bid for federal support

    Dustin Bleizeffer, WyoFile.com|Oct 5, 2023

    Academics and economic development officials fear that Biden administration "environmental justice" requirements are hurting Wyoming's ability to compete for billions of dollars in federal clean energy and infrastructure grants.
