Guest Column – Saving the Herald: A call to action and history of U.S. journalism

Among the oldest continuously published newspapers in Colorado, the Rio Blanco Herald Times is in dire straits due to a lack of sustainable income and announced that the paper would close on Oct. 26 unless a sustainable source of income can be realized. [Ed. Note: Thanks to the generosity of the community, the HT has received enough donations to continue publication for at least another six weeks while we configure a long-term mechanism for sustainability.]
