The sentiment that sticks with me after reading this short play: no one wants to pay for the service of journalism but it's an essential service our society needs. As independent journalism dwindles across the country and another small newspaper office folds, Shelia becomes representative of so much more than herself. Richter's passion for the importance of local journalism is evident and he makes a compelling argument about journalists standing as the last check against corruption. Very good work!
