There is nothing more satisfying than an anniversary well celebrated and we are rightly proud on the occasion of our 60th birthday.
But we are also aware that newspapers—like all businesses—must evolve to survive. A paper is only as successful as its usefulness to readers.
The newspaper industry is changing rapidly. So fast is the pace of technological invention that no one really knows what tomorrow will bring.
Some things, thankfully, are set in stone. Putting out a professional weekly newspaper in print is an exercise in tenaciousness: only accomplished by those of methodical inclination and curious mind, willing and able to tolerate demanding mental—and sometimes physical—exertion and thick-skinned enough to ignore the fault finders, pessimists and naysayers. The process demands commitment, a love of sharing and, perversely, some masochist tendencies!
So we salute everyone, who through their endeavors over six decades, however large or small, has contributed to The Reporter’s continuance in this unique, vital and caring community tucked away in a corner of Western Mexico.
