Carleton Free Press

Haven't posted in a while as I've been teaching during the spring term and getting a paper ready for the Canadian Economics Association meetings in Vancouver.

Here's a letter I sent off to the Irving papers ... again, doubt they'll publish it.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate retired Carleton University journalism professor Mr. Bob Rupert and Mr. Ken Langdon, editor and publisher respectively of the Carleton Free Press (Woodstock, New Brunswick). Their newspaper took home the prestigious Canadian Association of Journalists President's Award on May 24.

If we are to have any success in obtaining a goal of self-sufficiency, we must certainly celebrate the accomplishments of our small businesses. To all the employees at Carleton Free Press, congratulations!

This letter was inspired by the articles in the links below. The first is a really fun read (for New Brunswickers). I have also informed all 3 CBC Information Morning crews and News 88.9.
