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.
