Running a Small Town Paper in the Digital Age
As 2012 was coming to a close, I decided to have a chat with our local Editor-in-Chief of The Columbia Paper, which serves a small, rural community in the Hudson Valley. In addition to being the founder and editor of this paper, Teasdale was also part of a new media vanguard in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when portable video cameras were just becoming available to ordinary citizens. I visited Parry at his newspaper office in Ghent, where we talked about journalism, video, and our relationship to information.
