  • -Isms: Views on life in rural America

    LuAnn Schindler, Publisher|May 12, 2022

    Alexander Pope said, “A little learning is a dangerous thing.” Oh, so true. It’s also why I look forward to attending two industry conventions, which take place annually in April. Nebraska Press Women and Nebraska Press Association conventions offer workshops and panel discussions that reinforce our mission here at SAM. They also provide food for thought. That can be dangerous. After attending the NPA get-together in Kearney, Scott and I poured over our notes, tossed around ideas prese...

    LuAnn Schindler|Apr 28, 2022

    “Daily newspapers have traditionally constituted the heart and soul of local news media and they have provided the lion’s share of original reporting upon which all other news media depend,” wrote Robert McChesney and John Nichols, in the “Columbia Journalism Review” last November. For Nebraska news enthusiasts who rely on the daily dish from a local daily newspaper, the future of news is hazy at best. First, a majority of daily papers in Nebraska are owned by Lee Enterprises. In fact, whe...

    LuAnn Schindler, Publisher|Feb 24, 2022

    A trip to the Verdigre Stockyards turned into an FFA district championship, years later, for Summerland student Levi Cronk, of Page.

    Grief is a strange thing. One minute you’re going about your life, setting type on page six of this week’s paper, and the next, you crumble into a heap, head resting on your desk on a Monday afternoon, tears streaming because it’s your Mom’s 84th birthday and she departed from this world nearly seven years ago. Each of us experiences our own journey when we lose someone. Grief does not differentiate between the ways we lose someone - death, a breakup, a misunderstanding with your closest...

    I’m not sure who first said, “Don’t work hard just for recognition. Work hard for your own inner satisfaction and to better yourself.” The quote is spot on, especially right now. Since starting a writing business in the 90s, I’ve analyzed and reviewed work from the previous year. It’s a way to see your writing range, chart growth, determine if your style has or has not adapted. Basically, it is a measuring stick to set realistic goals and develop new ideas. As a freelancer, I could submit work t...

  • Got chocolate? We've got Christmas cookies!

    Terri Hahn, Journalist|Dec 16, 2021

    Last year I wrote a Christmas cookie article featuring some of my favorite holiday cookies I've made over the years. If you tried any of the recipes I hope you enjoyed them. This year I'm sharing recipes I found while going through my mom's recipe box. Some are clipped from newspapers or magazines. Others came from the coupon supplements found in the Sunday paper. A couple are on the packaging from the original product. What they do have in common is they all include chocolate in one form or...
