Fortunate to have local paper

From Allene Giesen Sieling

San Francisco Bay Area

The people of Pope County and Starbuck where I grew up are extremely fortunate to have a local paper like the Pope County Tribune (and The Starbuck Times).  I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1972.  At that time there were two daily newspapers in San Fransisco and a daily paper in San Mateo, Palo Alto, and Redwood City.  All three local papers are gone, and San Francisco has one daily paper.

It is encouraging to see all the local news in the Pope County Tribune, the school and community events, and the local columnists.  Thanks very much and I hope you keep going.
