For readers of the Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. Comment and discuss. Be nice, now.
A local newspaper is important to holding a community together, so it carries the responsibility of making good choices for the community. I'm an optimist, and I figure that if we become more critical readers and hold the editors accountable for what they're doing, including when they're doing right, we can gradually help make it better.

Hi, Steve.... Yes, the comments have been fascinating. I was driving N-bound on 69 last night right about 6:00 and noticed the emergency vehicles go by one after another in the opposite direction. After the fifth or sixth one, I told myself this must be something big. The various reader accounts were very helpful in providing additional context. And a refreshing change from the snarkiness that typically prevails (especially for stories about controlled burns and City Council elections). Fred
