This is an interview I conducted with Barb Shepherd, chief executive and cofounder of The West Volusia Beacon. She gives us the inside scoop on all things black, white and red all over. We chat about how a person actually goes about founding a newspaper, and, maybe more to the point, how it is kept in business in the days of digital media and ever-creeping AI.
