Sometimes you have to remind people of what they already know — or should know.
The Norfolk Daily News has done that with a series of stories called the “Protect the Pillar,” which refers to freedom of press, a cherished right in all democratic countries and the press has rightly been described as the Fourth Pillar Of Democracy.
The series spotlights the value of a free press, and the declining number of newspapers in the country, and the need to support newspapers, so your hometown paper doesn’t disappear.
