I’ve written here before about my love for newspapers, and my particular respect for the newspaper culture in the North Country.<\/p>\n

We’re blessed with a ridiculously fertile newspaper and magazine culture. <\/p>\n

A city with the population of our region would have one good newspaper, if lucky.<\/p>\n

We have many, many of them thriving, and each with their local communities’ interests at heart. <\/p>\n

This blog regularly excerpts (and provides links) to their work.<\/p>\n

We like to think that NCPR’s newsroom is part of that community, helping to tell the story of one of the richest, most fascinating places on earth.<\/p>\n

A new and cool way this new-media-old-media circle is being completed is that the Adirondack Daily Enterprise<\/a>, published in Saranac Lake, has decided to publish some of our In Box columns.<\/p>\n

They will appear on a regular basis, the first running this weekend. <\/p>\n

Here’s managing editor Peter Crowley’s editorial about the partnership: <\/p>\n

Today we begin a new column which will run on this page every Saturday \u2014 a weekly selection of Brian Mann\u2019s writings from the In Box, North Country Public Radio\u2019s news blog.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mann lives in Saranac Lake, has been an NCPR reporter for 11 years and contributes constantly \u2014 usually several times a day \u2014 to the In Box on www.ncpr.org. <\/p>\n

His thought-provoking writings there are worth publishing, so we asked him if we could be the one to do it. <\/p>\n

Plus, most of our local audience wouldn\u2019t otherwise read this blog. He and the NCPR team liked the idea, so here we are.<\/p>\n

Since these pieces are not original to this newspaper, we have chosen to call this feature \u201cForwards from the In Box\u201d; in a newspaper-layout kind of way, we\u2019re clicking the \u201cforward\u201d button to pass these on to you. <\/p>\n

And we wouldn’t send you junk mail; these, in particular, are worth sharing.<\/p>\n

While Mr. Mann properly keeps his opinions out of his news reporting on the radio, he frees them online \u2014 and, by extension, here. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s meaty stuff; whether you agree with him or not, he knows what he\u2019s typing about and presents strong, logical, humanistic bases for his arguments. <\/p>\n

We hope this feature generates some responses in terms of letters to the editor and Guest Commentaries. <\/p>\n

You won\u2019t be able to read or comment on it on our Web site, however. <\/p>\n

Rather, if you want to read it online, go to www.ncpr.org; you can join the comment conversation there, too.<\/p>\n

We heartily thank Mr. Mann and NCPR for partnering with us in this way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
