About the Author
For many publishers, a weekly community newspaper is a family affair. Dad, Mom and the kids cover local news, write stories and editorials, produce the paper and deliver the printed copies to the post office and local distribution sites. This is the experience of Ace and Marsha Remas of Marin County, California. For nearly four years they produced the weekly Twin Cities Times for the twin towns of Corte Madera and Larkspur. They began their experience with absolutely no experience or training. On top of that, their oldest son was just a toddler and their youngest son came into this world during their tenure as newspaper publishers. Despite their young age, both sons were part of the newspaper staff with their own responsibilities, much like all the members of a family contribute to their farm. People don't engage in community journalism to get rich. It is truly a labor of love, and in this case the love of family kept the newspaper alive and well throughout their career. Their weekly editorials recounting the joys of family life, their struggles, and this meaningful social endeavor became locally famous. Even major national publications followed their adventure and reprinted many of these essays and editorials. Now for the first time you can relive this unique family experience in a selection of the most poignant descriptions of the family's journalistic experience.
