VIRGINIA — Chris Knight, publisher of the former Mesabi Daily News and now Mesabi Tribune, is remembering Bill Hanna as "a committed journalist who wasn’t afraid to take on any issue in search of the truth." Knight's words are those echoed by many colleagues and friends in remarks to the Mesabi Tribune in the wake of Hanna's death.
