Ken Tingley of Glens Falls, author of "Last American Newspaper", has been confirmed to speak at the March 7 meeting via Zoom.

The Last American Newspaper: An Institution in Peril, Through the Eyes of a Small-Town Editor

This book reveals what is happening in small communities across the United States as their newspapers struggle to survive. It is a celebration not just of journalism, but of the inspirational people who do it and the news and events of small towns. Importantly, it asks the question: who will be the community watchdog of the future? This book memorializes the American newspaper through the story of the Post-Star of Glens Falls, NY. The author, a devoted veteran of the Post-Star, compiles a series of vignettes that depict the newspaper's coverage over the years. They provide a glimpse behind the newsroom curtain through the stories of the investigative journalism done in small towns.
