I was 12 when I started working for a newspaper. I learned most journalists are vocational people, patriotic people. You don’t go into this trade for money. You go because a healthy newspaper is integral to a healthy democracy. That’s why our forefathers made such a big deal out of “freedom of the press”. It’s been an honor and a privileged to work beside so many good people.
