Pleasantly surprised by quality newspaper

To the Editor:

On a visit to Bryson City this past weekend, I picked up the most recent copy of your weekly. What a wonderful surprise and enjoyable read! As a former journalist and long-term professional writer, I was so pleased to see that true journalism is alive and thriving in Western North Carolina. My expectations of a local or regional publication were surpassed by your perfect blend of hard news, opinion, arts/entertainment and more. To top it off, the writing was excellent. Well done and keep up the good work!

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
