Join Thursday 8 O’Clock Buzz hosts Tony Castañeda and Eli Wilz as they welcome their favorite rural newspaper correspondent into the studio. Charley Preusser, Editor of the Crawford County Independent and Kickapoo Scout, is in town for the 2024 Wisconsin Newspaper Association Convention and talks with Tony and Eli about the importance of small town newspapers, and how to keep them alive in our ever-changing media landscape. Up for 16 awards at the WNA convention this week, the Independent-Scout is a great example of how one community newspaper manages to thrive, despite its small circulation and subscribers with unpredictable news consumption habits.
