It takes a village to keep a local news source
When small-town newspapers teetered on the edge of closing in Ashley, Wishek, and Mohall, it wasn’t a media company or billionaire that stepped in—it was the communities themselves. Thanks to local interest, and new owners with deep ties, the Ashley Tribune, Wishek Star, and Renville County Farmer will keep printing. These papers aren’t just carriers of news—they’re timekeepers, watchdogs, and storytellers. Their survival is a reminder: local journalism endures when people care enough to fight for it. Cecile Wehrman, ND Newspaper Association wrote the commentary published in InForum.
