The get togethers that come with the holidays are in full swing. At many of these dinners locally sourced, organically grown food is being served. We are concerned about what we are putting in our body, we should be equally concerned about what we are putting into our minds.
Much of the news coverage we receive is the equivalent to junk food. It might be exciting and well packaged, but it is not good for us. This news is mass produced by gigantic conglomerates who wring every cent they can to improve their bottom line. Lost in this bean counting is the making of product. These multinational corporations have no interest in your local community; they are trying to maximize their profits and maybe push a national agenda.
This is why food produced on small family farms is sought after. This is someone’s passion not just a job that they do from nine to five. This living the business results in a discernible difference in product.
At the Hernando Sun we live in the local community. We know many of the people and places in the stories we cover. This depth of knowledge provides a richer more colorful understanding of the story.
The news can cause you to dislike where you live or it can develop an appreciation of the local community. This is why it is important to have a news source that is invested in accurately covering the local community.
A local family owned ‘organically grown’ family newspaper understands that the community will be the healthiest if they are fair. If they look for fault where there is none, they will artificially cause suspicions of the leaders of the community. If they gloss over issues, the community will not be made aware of problems that need to be fixed.
