Last week was National Newspaper Week, the one week of the year during which -- with the Newspaper Association Managers’ (NAM) leadership -- newspapers remind readers of their importance to their communities. This year, NAM’s theme was “Your Community, Your Newspaper, Your Life,” while the S.C. Press Association (SCPA) narrowed the focus even further to newspapers’ role as community watchdogs. How do we perform that role here at the C-I? First and foremost, we attend all Camden City, Kershaw County and Elgin Town council meetings.
We are your community watchdog
