I also promise I will make you happy, while simultaneously angering many of your neighbors.
Because newspapers reflect the real lives of the communities they serve with all its diversity of thought and ups and downs newspapers run good and bad stories and highlight viewpoints from across the spectrum.
Just like your life makes you happy and angry, so, too, should your newspaper.
As a newspaper reader, I encourage you to take the long view, and to stick with the paper even when it’s making you mad, because it will make you happy again.
Take, for example, a series of stories I wrote at the Battle Creek Enquirer.
