Today's Opinions

This past July marked my 10th year with The Lebanon Enterprise.

And in those 10 years, things have changed drastically with this newspaper.

Actually, the word "drastically" doesn't even begin to describe the number of changes we have experienced here at the Enterprise.

Our heads are still spinning, to be honest.

But, there is one thing that hasn't changed.

Newspapers still matter.

There's an excessive amount of gloom and doom being spread around these days when the talk turns to the future of newspapers. In fact, the mere mention of the future of newspapers suggests that there might not be one. There is no question that the newspaper business has been disrupted. And yet, what the doomsayers fail to see is that newspapers are well on their way to ensuring that a bright future lies ahead.

It's customary for this newspaper to write an editorial the week after Marion County Country Ham Days to praise the Chamber of Commerce and the countless volunteers that make the annual fall festival such a huge success.

Looking back in our archives, it's interesting to see how the festival has continually grown.
