Via Institute web site. 2 pages., Paper presented at the National Summit on Journalism in Rural America, April 20-21, 2007, at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky.
Cites journalism educator Don Ranley who urges maintaining the wall between editorial and advertising, in the interest of reader credibility. "I am not a businessman, but it has to be good business to be trusted."
Examines early national journalism in the U.S. through the case of Joseph Dennie, who published/edited the Farmer's Weekly Museum of Walpole, New Hampshire, during the 1790s. It was short lived (1793-1799)and produced "an unusually large quantity of original and sometimes controversial content." Dennie is introduced as "a character worth dwelling on."
He did not become a public name by virtue of publishing exclusively under pseudonyms.

Notes:
"The Farm Journalist"series via online. 2 pages., Author suggests to agricultural journalists that "what you have yet to discover out there to work with could prove to be a most rewarding time in your entire career." "What you have learned in ag journalism is also what you need to succeed 'out there' and - what you learn 'out there' may be highly useful in improving what you are doing now."
