Sign up for The Media Today, CJR’s daily newsletter.

CJR is on the road this summer, visiting small newsrooms across America and meeting the hometown journalists who put together local news. In a series of short videos, we’ll introduce you to a handful of these papers and get a peek at the perspectives of their editors and reporters. Posted each week through September.

On the eve of their 150th anniversary, The Democrat in Sedalia, Missouri, is undergoing a lot of change. A new owner, a new publisher, a new printing schedule — down to five days per week — and a new editor, who’s only 26 years old.

Has America ever needed a media defender more than now? Help us by joining CJR today.
