This important work speaks to me on many levels. First as a journalism major who specialized in PR. And as someone who has always valued the role of local newspapers and is saddened to see them disappearing. And as someone who believes that a free press is the last bastion against tyranny. Read this. Produce it. Spread the word.

I had the pleasure of attending a recent reading of "Clips" by Adam Richter. Richter creates characters that pull a strong response from the audience and places these characters in a very dramatic situation. We hope for the best and fear for the worst. Well done.

Adam Richter knows the importance of local journalism. In "Clips," he shows the harsh realities that have attacked it for decades. Idealism, pragmatism, and capitalism are pitted against one another in this fine short drama.
