Bob and Alexis welcome NLJ videographer — and two-time Wyoming Press Association Photojournalist of the Year — Walter Sprague back to the show to talk about the news we choose...and the news that chooses us. Go off the page to hear how community journalists approach the good, bad and ugly aspects of the stories we have to tell in small towns like Newcastle and Upton - and why we feel like we have to tell those stories at all. Get a truly deeper look at what drives our coverage, from tough stories on crimes, accidents and tragic deaths that Alexis has taken on recently to far more positive and uplifting tales shared by residents in the Weston County Museum District Oral History Presentations that we have shared on our Youtube Channel and in the pages of the News Letter Journal. We wrap up the episode with a preview of our holiday coverage and promotions, which will be highlighted by the return of the Christmas Lights Cruise we introduced in Newcastle a year ago and our annual celebration of the people who made a difference in Weston County in the Person of the Year issue in the first edition of 2024.
