Brad Andersen offers his appreciation for Clark County Today

Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com

I wanted to drop a note to say how much I appreciate Clark County Today. Nice to have a trustworthy publication. 

I’m not sure how local newspapers can survive. I can’t remember the last time I saw a paper box outside of someone’s home. I miss the days when you could get up and grab your newspaper, lay it out on the table as you were drinking your morning coffee. 

I’m not sure instant news is all that it’s cut out to be. Allowing some of the stories to play out a little more slowly may help return some old fashioned integrity in the newsmakers.
