Reading round: people in weeklies beat dailies for interest
The Rossburn Review notes weekly papers thrive by featuring people. Pauline Johnson’s 100th birthday fund for a library in Lundar, a $25,000 gift, and other items show readers value personal stories. The column mentions Russ McGuire’s humor, Russ Purnell’s police news, a charged assault, Gretzky jokes, and Janice Tytler’s car scam warning, illustrating local-interest reporting.
